Lynn.........
I live in an area which is considered a county-of-origin for water in California. We usually get from 25 to 50 inches of rain between November and the end of March. This year, we've had less than 5 inches. We don't get summer rains.
Ever since I joined ATP, I've been trying to figure out where I could locate a semp garden where the plants wouldn't get too much rain in the winter months and too much direct sun in the summer months. I'll find a pocket somewhere, but not this year. I had to stop reading the semp forum because this is not the year for new projects.
The sun is out and it looks tempting to go out and work, but temps are still below freezing. I don't have that much courage, so I'll have to wait a few hours until it warms up a bit. Dang ! my cat is smarter than I am. He won't even come out of his "little house" to eat breakfast. He's snuggled in and isn't going to move !
I think I'll work in the kitchen and make tonight's dinner so that when I come in from being cold, all I have to do is heat it up. Besides, that will make the kitchen warmer.
As for fires ... I live in a wildfire area. Most of our fires are started by lightening. My neighborhood is fire safe because my neighbors and I all got together and had CalFire do a huge fire fuel reduction project a couple of years ago and we've kept it up.
The snow boots are my warmest boots ...
Smiles,
Lyn
