Jan 28/10
It’s very cold outside today. We’ve had little blizzards off and on throughout the day and the temperature is “minus something, celcius” (AKA FREEZING COLD!!!)
So here I sit, bundled up in a blanket and I just killed a mosquito.
What’s up with that?

Potted plant outside.. Eggs laid in overflow rim at the bottom.. Inside, warmer and not frozen.. Water fills, hits egg and activates.. ?
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

- 25 celcius not including the mind blowing wind this morning. Yesterday was awesome going from sunny with no wind, to almost total darkness with gusts up to 70km/hr with snow coming down so thick I couldnt see the front of the tractor.
Plowed the driveway once, put the tractor back in the barn and looked at the laneway wondering why I bothered.
Looks like it might be a sunny day today

-28 C at 7:30 am, not including wind chill
both dogs stuck their head out the door, looked up at me, turned and ran back up to bed.

Only once and never again, I drove to Timmins Ontario in February and the temperature dropped to -65 C. My truck turned into concrete, impossible to start so I had it towed. I closed the front door and the frozen hinges cracked in two, leaving the door at my feet.
Timmins never gets a school “snow day”.................wierd

My seeds are sprouting,my seeds are sprouting…..hurray.
Costco has a “JIFFY” seed kit. A plastic flat with clear plastic lid, compostable seed trays, a bag of seed starter soil, and five packages of herb seeds for 9 bucks. the same seed package sells for $1.69 so I think its a good deal….............I bought two of them.

Interesting. It is COLD outside, and today, I found a large chad fly on the wall in the dining room. What the @#$% ? The aquarium is almost frozen over in the garage, and there is a chad fly inside? I have never seen anything like this before. Pretty ice patterns on the wall of the aquarium. Hopefully it will warm up this week.
