I find most plants revive. Water them once or twice a week - checking moisture of the soil. Once they revive, cut the dead or too wilted leaves off and watch them thrive again!

Soups are my favorite meal in the winter, Goldiec.
It's a rare day that the slow cooker is not on my counter with some kind of soup simmering there.

Re: The insulation was blown in after the roof was installed, CCT
The ceiling in my kitchen/dining area looks like a the exterior of a beehive. Most of the other rooms are covered with gypsum board and painted, but I like the originality of my beehive.

Sometimes they drive me to distraction FSI.
But to be fair, we have been playing usually without so many of our regular players because of injury or Covid, and the youngsters are trying hard to live up to their potential.

It is Sassyass, but it's also invigorating working out in the cold.
If one is well dressed for it, of course!

Good Afternoon
I want to start by saying I'm so glad you got a good night's sleep. As far as your chores go the way I see it is that as long as the animals are fed and the plants are watered I think you had a productive day. I'm going to make cauliflower and broccoli today along with some additional vegetables and I'm going to make rice on the side. I saw this on one of my cooking shows and it sounds good to me. I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay warm!

Well, you do make the best of everything. I do hope your metal roof is well lined I had never heard of houses with metal roofs. Apart from thatched cottages I would imagine all are covered with tiles or slates lined with thick felt and insulation on the rafters horrible stuff glass wool.

It's been a rough season for the Canadiens. It's hard to believe they were in the Cup Finals last summer. Things can change so quickly in sports.

Good morning
I love broccoli and cauliflower. Those two would make a delicious and healthy soup. It is a great way to use up old veggies.

Good morning
I could have used that ax on a few parts of my path to the car. Shoveling snow is tough work.

Thought about you this morning as I saw the sports scores roll
across the bottom of the screen. Hope you're feeling tip top this morning and your wilted plants have perked up in their favored location.
