I'm tired of complaining about the weather, it seems to the normal thing to do this winter, with odds worse than the Super Bowl, I'm aiming for a touch down of spring! If you remember my January hutch, all decked out in snowflakes, well, I think I jinxed winter! It's being relentless, one wave after another of cold, wind, snow, sleet, ice and cold, did I say cold? Super cold! Another one for the record books, but I'm not impressed with all these records being broken? Will our weather ever return to normal? To boost it along, I hid all my snowflakes yesterday and dug out the Valentines, dressed up the hutch for the new month with high hopes for a kinder month....then it happened, mid morning, snow......with the promise of more twice this week! I give up!
It's hard at times to remain positive, and I'm still trying. Worry sets in over the price of propane and a possible shortage, I never would of imagined that electricity would be cheaper than propane , oh how I long for wood heat again! Will we make it, I'm sure we will, but a person tends to get down, in my case, I feel like a slug this winter! But, I'm keeping busy, holding onto the thought of spring and getting my hands planted in the warm soil again! Happy thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWell your hutch looks pretty all decked out in red. Red is such an uplifting color. Since we are having a very mild winter directly opposite from you I can't say I know how you are feeling. But I know how hard it must be to have cold cold cold just staring you in the face. Here's hoping Spring will show up SOON!!

I agree Sue! Our electric bill has doubled the past two months.... I have heard propane has been expensive and not easy to get...I am so ready for Spring too. Stay safe and warm... Hoping things clear up soon.. Blessings!

Hello Sue, Golly, I was not even aware of a propane shortage; clueless I guess when all you heat with is wood, but we cook with propane and the last time they came it was the most we have ever paid in a season.
ReplyDeleteWe have had freezing temps, but little to NO snow, Not good for the ranchers.
I have received a few Valentines cards. It is so fun to get mail..
I have 10 more to address, then Off they go...
Have a good week, and I love the HEART HUTCH

I did a bit of Valentine decorating this day, myself...helps my spirits at least.....
ReplyDeleteWe have a wood burning fireplace with gas logs in it....I'm wondering if I couldn't just remove those and burn some wood....we have the gas cut off outside so there's none coming into the fireplace.....of course we'd need to buy some wood, I guess....we have some we use in the fire pit outside but it wouldn't last long...
Looking forward to better times.

We have oil heat but have been heating our home mostly with wood this lllloooonnnngggg winter! I don't know when we have had such a cold winter. I can't complain because we haven't had any snow or ice. Yet!
ReplyDeleteYour hutch is beautiful. Just stay in that room and stare at it, it will surely make you happy!
Blessings

I think your hutch is like a breath of Spring air...not a Jinx at all...
