I have been making some adjustments outside to give the ferals some warmer places to hole up with some light bulbs [my only use for incandescent bulbs], and have to think about moving plants and putting a tarp over my Mother’s water garden.

Today it is looking warmer than they were saying before this storm came through.

That leads people to do weird things like scheduling outdoor musical events in the vicinity of Christmas. I played in one late December concert in Hermann Park in which it was so cold that the contractor for the job gave us permission to wear our heavy coats onstage. That did nothing for my hands, of course; I played enough clams that night to serve the whole audience with chowder. Of course, no one here knows how to make chowder…

Enjoy it, because when the clouds clear out and the winds shift it will be colder than a welldigger’s …….

I hate the winter here. It always rains buckets just before it gets really cold, which makes preparing for it a real pain as all the plants to be moved are filled with icy water.
