I am with your daughter there Mary. My DH calls me from the Arctic, nearly every day reminding me to check the fuel level, keep an eye on the pipes, safety gear in the car and yada, yada because it is going to be cold...for real? Most of our lives spent in cold climates and he thinks I might not be prepared? Just like every single year I gripe and whine about winter coming, dread it until I almost make myself sick: first morning I wake up (don't even have to open eyes to know) that it has snowed and when I look out at how beautiful it is I want to fall to my knees with gratitude that I have lived in such beauty for most of my life. Of course I don't actually fall to my knees because you know that darned arthritis that gets us cold climate people. Just came in from checking the propane tank level and noticed I forgot about 8 pots of asst. lily seedling and mums out next to the garden. Oh well I guess I will find out just how hardy those babies really are.
