Zuzu - actually, my highest winter bill this year yet has been above $50. Last month my natural gas (forced heat) was $46. Tiny house, EXTREMELY well insulated to the point that I've opened windows in a snowstorm to get some fresh air! Ugh!! Especially in the bird room.. that's where the kitty litters are w/the birdies so it gets dusty & squirrelly pretty quick. We've had a very very very very VERY mild winter this year. Right now it's about 30degs F, but completely overcast which makes it feel colder. And windy. & depressing. Saturday it was sunny but EXTREMELY windy.. 30-60 MPH winds w/gusts in the 60s-80 MPH. Had a nasty time at the dogpark.. got so badly windburned on my cheeks. :(
And I can see why you posted that gorgeous rose 3 times.. I should wander around & see where I can find one! That *is* a beautiful rose!!
Mike - Be grateful you're getting so much moisture. If at any time you have too much snow, FedEx it my way. We normally have had about 2' by now.. we haven't gotten squat. I'm just praying for a nice fat slush storm soon.. I'm tired of having to water everything.
