13c and quite a shock to the system....tonight to be warmer than average
daytime temps for this time of year at 8c...might have to discard the cosy PJs for something cooler....it is cloudy though with the occasional short shower
 
-10C with sunshine now after having been down to -20C overnight. Good weather for ice fishing, my nephew and his son will be going for a 150 km snowmobile ride this weekend. I am in no shape for that kind of distance. I came home from doing a supply run, filled up on Chinese food and settled back for the evening watching some TV and then listened to CDs in comfort.

I wish I was practicing with them!!! Not very happy, cause this whole winter I've gone from one cold to another!!! Speaking of, guess what I have again! Grrr.

Supposed to be rainy and 50's today, but up to 60's this coming week. Sure can't wait for spring and summer! :)

Sounds like your management drug has lowered your immune system too much. That's why I stopped entyvio and remicade years ago! Sick every infusion cycle with upper respiratory ailments which of course set off a flare. Lasted a year on remicade and 6 months on entyvio, before saying no,no,no! You work with public, right? Your exposure is even greater than mine was in an small office setting. Take care of yourself, you don't want to move from cold into walking pneumonia... which happened to me.
 
I failed Remicade and was forced to stop after the 3rd infusion due to drug induced Lupus. It affected my heart, peeling skin, hair/beard loss, and one of the worst side effects was that the colostomy bag would not stick to my skin without going further into the detail. It made me scared of biologics. I fared well with managing diet, and stress. Keeping active with all the chores and firewood all help.
Weather is warming up here, but I am not ready for spring, this has been a very good winter, one of the better ones in years, not looking forward to the biting flies and the wild fire threats.

Buff, that was an acute, immediate response too! No doubt about what was the cause. Scary.
 
Wild and windy again ,but a few dry spells to get out for a quick walk ,

Patsy we get the gunfire as well , we have a naval base in the harbour and when they practice it reverberates around the whole area .

Amazing isn't it. In the sumner we have a lot of low flying helicopters too....they're big beautiful birds!!! Occasionally they fire the big guns.... and that does shakes the windows!

I haven't Patsy but will have a look on the web.I have to tell you though,I'm not into girly / romance stuff...can't be doing with it.....I'd tell you what I read and my fave authors but....well,just but
 
What a lovely day we've had...so warm and sunny it could be May....we've pottered about with the plants (last years) and tidied up etc.I made some fat balls for the birds,some for the park. There's a tree with two good sized holes which are just the right size to stuff them into.
 
We don't have naval base, but Search and Rescue do maneuvers with the Hercules 130, its a sight to watch that big dark turboprop plane cruising low doing high banked turns. But all too often its the real thing with the spotter plane way up high while the water bombers hit the fires. So far they have done a good job, the place is still standing.
Winter is running a high fever; windy, raw, wet, miserable +1C

Oh I do like your ..."winter is running a high fever"!!! PERFECT! Last time I looked at my thermometer, which was about mid afternoon, at that time it was 78°F. It has been a super N I C E day!

Bravo to our local area civil defense warriors and protectors!
 
We went up to 3C yesterday, wet miserable, but nothing is free eh? We have to pay for the winter we had and the summer to come. I already miss the sunny dry cold days, and summer is still a long ways off. Spring is the weather bill, the property taxes will come, as does income tax, but I'll let the tax preparer wade through the paper work, its worth the fee. It's that time of year again when it comes in from all directions.
I started the slow cooker with ribs, with garlic sauce and a hint of red pepper.
 
Ribs sound nice Buff...I'll bring dessert. We used an accountant for our gardening business.I was ok answering the phone and arranging bookings
,etc,but we were happy to pay others to do the faff.....weathers a bit of o mix....light showers,some sun,cool breeze but Spring is on the way....I hope
 
I have enough ribs for three meals, and I enjoyed them yesterday. Its another damp day with the slow melt, its that time of year when time slows down to a crawl. When I ran the knifemaking business the paper work back then was simple, but if I had to do it now Carol, I would probably have to have someone do it, the simple world is no longer.
2C Gray.
 
I put the pork ribs into the slow cooker after pulling off membrane, and cut them up into pairs/tripples of ribs. Added jar of garlic cooking sauce, two large chopped up garlic sections, and a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Cook for 5 hrs. Start on high and then reduce to low heat.
Made baked potato, a tossed salad, or cucumber salad if I am in a flare, along with a glass of red wine.
Easy recipe, easy clean up.

Nice, just the way it should be.

Reading that made me hungry. Going to cook some meat and mushrooms myself. Bye.

Ohhh, the ribs sound wonderful and spicy too! Yum!
 
For the past two days the weather has been spring like and FINE! Yesterday I decided to sit outside in the sun for a short time, it was so warm and cozy. Our night lows have been in the low 60's, but tonight we're expecting high 40's. There's a wind shift to the north at some point tonight.

Today, I set up two small jars of cabbage to ferment. Added a few slices of garlic and some seranno pepper pieces for taste. It's getting a little late to ferment here, but I've put them in a controlled environment, plus lower temps the next two days should allow a good batch! I hope!
 
Turned out nice again !!! I'm looking forward to getting my summer clothes out of storage. I'm not really a summer person and don't own a dress or sandals but I love a nice pair of summery slacks and a flowing shirt / blouse.Although our winter hasn't been as bad as a lot of places we've still needed wool sweaters and layers and parkas etc.
 
Summer slacks, long skirt with knit tops and flowing shirt/blouse are so comfy... like that for my Sunday wear.... everyday wear are jeans or cotton slacks with t-shirts.... something light and cool in our hot weather!

Did not get very much cooler last night after all! Now they are saying that "cooler" is coming in later tonight!??
 
It will be awhile before I can put the coat away for something lighter, we are under a snowfall advisory, at least it will brighten things up and freshen up the trails. The neighbor came around asking me for a ride, but I had to decline the offer as I was stark naked with the bag pulled off ready for the shower. My nephew and his Son had a good snowmobile ride on the weekend and did over 200km, that kind of distance would not be possible for me, but I remember those days when I did so.
-3C sunny and bright with a breeze.
 
Nice pics, I can see that you are well into spring Tony. With the trail systems snowmobilers can go hundreds of kms in a day, with restaurant stops and hotels along the trails in the southern part of the region where he lives. Here in the north one has to take extra fuel and supplies as the stops are few in this remote part of the province.
