-10F (or -23C) …. Brrr


When that third eye kicks in and wakes me up at 5 am - hmmm, the intuition that something is afoot, as Sherlock Holmes would say. 

Ahhh yes, kitchen pipes are frozen - I’m guessing I didn’t let the hot water faucet drip quite enough - completely preventable. 

There’s been a heater blowing under the dishwasher to keep the water supply line as warm as possible  - when it freezes the repair is almost as much as a new dishwasher  (yep-been there more than once.) Fingers crossed that won’t happen this time.

Off to warm up the kitchen! So on this frosty Wednesday morning,

this is what I see,

this is where I’m sitting,


this is what’s keeping me warm-a steaming cup of mint tea.


Oh, it could be much worse! 

So I’ll just spend the day in the kitchen keeping an eye on things - I’ve been wanting to test making homemade Pop-tarts®️ to sell in the “not-shop”  -  this seems like as good a day as any to try.

In the meantime, I’m thinking it’s perfectly acceptable to have a s’more for breakfast; what do you think?
