This is a prime example of why you should make a list and check it twice when traveling during holidays. Following stars is all well and good, but can you tell the difference between a star, a comet and a meteorite headed directly for you?
This year stay safe and follow the safety protocols. Upgrade your masks and wear them at gatherings if you don’t know the vaccination status of everyone there.

got lost, forgot frankensense, fell in sea of gallilee, AND didn’t start cooking dinner on time.
still, it turned out to be a nice (nice day to stay inside, that’s for sure). cooking the bones now to get the last shreds of meat to fall off them, and make broth (to freeze for later).
Sounds good. Yes, the last four days have been a bit of a trial that need not be repeated in the near or distant future.
and speaking of freezing, not sure yet how many of my plants are going to survive the cold snap. fortunately, the pipes all seem to have survived it though 🙂
nobody calls them blue northers here, but then technically this part of the world doesn’t really have blue northers, i guess. must be all the trees…
This stuff should stay on on the Plains and not bother people down on the Gulf Coast. So far my stuff looks OK. but everything looked OK after Ivan and died later from salt poisoning. At least fleas and fire ants may have been stopped. We can hope.
i hear ya. we don’t send them our hurricanes. then again, their tornadoes are worse than ours, so there’s that.
i’ve got 3 baby trees that i started from cuttings a couple of years ago, one seems to be ok but i’m not sure the other two are going to make it; keeping my fingers crossed . . .
i’m not holding out much hope for being flea-free — i’ve already had to uninvite one mouse and three or four lizards that invited themselves in from the cold, no telling what else is just waiting in the woodwork for warmer weather.
The South Central states are in line to see the tornadoes of which you speak, perhaps as early as tomorrow. Not as cold as the last storm, but perhaps more violent.
I think I lost a miniature rose, but it might come back. It wasn’t that long ago that my shamrocks were blooming. All you can do is wait and hope.
Yes, you have too many indoor hosts, but it might reduce the outdoor supply. I used to be able to get flea-eating nematodes at the vets, but they stopped carrying them. They would eat all of the fleas and flea larvae & eggs they could find. then they would starve as the had no other source of food..
