and it's now 2.1 degrees.
It's slowly coming up ha ha.
Weatherman says it's -11 wind chill.
The time is wrong on the weather station.
Can't wait to see my gas bill next month.
Doing bills this morning and my current gas bill is $66.

Battening down the hatches for this cold weather.
Got some blankets or towels over some windows
for added insulation.
This is a lighter weight bedspread with a little batting in it.
I can actually feel a difference of it feeling warmer
in the living area with this up.
I used to have heavy curtains for this window
but the cats clawed them up and I only
have really thin ones up there now.
For smaller windows I clothespinned up towels.
Getting ready to start some chili in the crock pot.
After soaking the beans for a day I'll now put them on
the stove in a pot of water and boil them
before adding to the crock pot.
I did up enough beans to make chili
and ham & bean soup.
Last night we had deer roast with gravy,
potatoes and carrots.
9:40am
Chili is in the crock brewing til supper time.
I added some grated Mexican chocolate to it.

start to look up. Not too far up but maybe above water.
11:30am
I turned the heat back some so I decided to put
another pot of boiling water on the stove to help
it feel warm in here. This time around I added
orange peels, vanilla extract and some
mint leaves. I have about 4 bottles of dried mint
leaves that I found in a vacated apartment and never
knew what to use them for.
Well I know now, lol. The house is smelling minty.
A cheap air freshener to humidify the house with.
