After seeing that ( the little "-" under the "2" is not an underline mark… ) you might think that with all the time I must have indoors, well.. maybe a lot of knitting or spinning was taking place. You would think. Instead, the rollaway under the bed containers have had a going through. So has the blanket chest, the bureau and the closet. It is a chore I particularly dislike. It’s done. I have stuff for the Salvation Army, new rags for the shop and room to see what I have. The feather bed came down from storage above the bedroom and is now where it should be this time of year.
The cats, well…. they KNOW it is too cold to be outside. Zach and Sam alternate between games of hide and seek and tag. Zach spent half the morning ambushing anyone who walked by his "tent". When I finally went for the camera, he strolled out and lost interest. End of game. Bu wants nothing to do with any of it.
There it is. I continue to tie skeins for dyeing. I’m an inch from finishing the sleeves of the Everyday Cardi. Everything beckons, everything except the outdoors. Shoveling the deck off this afternoon and carrying in the wood for the night was plenty.
Stay warm.

Was it -2 all day!? That is cold….brrr. You stay warm and get a little knitting in, too.
It’s not quite that cold here but still much colder than I’d like it to be. Stay warm!
Weather like that “ain’t fit fir man nor beast!”
Cozy up under that feather bed and wait it out!
I’m definitely not enjoying this artic freeze that’s blown our way.
It is COLD. -17 last night, by report. I didn’t stick my nose out after dark. Bought a sweater late afternoon, knit a bunch, ate too much, not enough exercise. The body pretends that it knows better than to use calories, in an anachronistic attempt to keep us alive.
Ha! I’ve got the same cat thing going on here. My age 9 sister cats haven’t played tag in the house for years. . . until this week. Now it’s all tag all the time. Thankfully, the giant dog declines to play the game with them.
bbrrrr-Sounds like you have plenty to keep busy and warm. This is the only time of year it’s worth living here. Seems the cats are making the very best of it too;)
Amazing what can get done indoors when the outdoors no longer beckons.
It was fifteen here the other day too, but make that celsius…
I guess cold gets to a point where even colder is just still plain cold. Just like hot does.
hmm, living in florida does have it’s good points…
