Baby, it's cold outside
Comments (7)I have a large leaf pile (30X8), and without thinking I dismantled it ahead of the cold wave (I want to do something in the cold season, plus the large bags of compost could be efficiently dragged through the snow). That bare ground got frozen down to -1F. I want to see if I have whacked something like squash vine borer, that was the deepest litter they can find in at least a square mile. It could be an IPM method. BTW, today is the ugliest 46F day ever. It has been called a snow day here, after the mixed stuff that fell overnight froze on contacting the frozen roads. it is also foggy, with a persistent drizzle and 400yds visibility. 60F tomorrow, and we will break records. it is still a much warmer than average winter....See MoreBaby its cold outside!
Comments (8)Sounds like IÂm not the only one frozen in! fiedlermeister, from what I hear from friends, beside the cold you folks in Maine have had your fair share of snow this year too. Yuck. smokemaster, youÂre killing me send some of the high temps my way! chililover, I figured joeknowsjolokia was talking -2F. Definitely not shorts and t-shirt weather! IÂm starting early for a few of reasons but primarily because of the jolokias slow growth rate. As for starting other varieties by March, last growing season was cool, dim and wet here which resulted in a miserable crop of peppers. I want to get some good growth underway before this years plants head outdoors in case we have a repeat of last years weather. Bill...See MoreBaby its cold outside
Comments (7)It is a good thing birds don't have feeling in their legs - as far as feeling the cold beneath their feet! Their feathers will keep their bodies warm. Those are very nice pictures. And I really do like the song: I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry Well maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move closer At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out Ahh, but it's cold outside But, I really don't know why it is considered a Christmas song since the only time I hear it is with all the other holiday music before Christmas! It is very appropriate for today! Okay, back on topic - Those words just started going through my head when I saw the subject and then saw the pictures - very appropriate!...See MoreBbbrrrr! Oh baby it's cold outside!
Comments (11)Hi Debby - my BIL lives in Calgary. Brrrrr is right. I'm near Kingston ON but in between 3 weather patterns. Quite often we either get murdered with hard storms in the fall (gail force winds and rain) and the winter we seem to miss alot that hits along the St. Lawrence, Ottawa area and stuff from Toronto either blows north or south of us. Being new in this area, going by our new friends - we are kinda in a Bermuda Triangle. Sure gives us a false sense of security. Who can tell these days what's gonna hit! As for the weather - LOOKS like blowing snow from time to time. To busy indoors today to have any clue with the woodstove. Our home is built into a hillside with heavy insulation. It's toasty with the woodstove dying down - we bring it back up around 4:30 pm. Weird, weird, weird January weather here. We should be freezing our tails off right now. Pop over for tea or better yet Hot Toddies if anyone is cold. LOL. Cheers, Peggy...See Morebengz6westmd
