Back to winter

Back to winter

The winter thaw has departed so it’s back to winter for the duration, the length of which remains to be determined. We have had about 12cm of snow in the last 36 hours or so and tonight’s low temperature will be around -12. Good curling for curling up on the couch with some movies. Our choices are In Her Shoes, Chasing Amy, The Human Stain, The Ides of March, and Swing Vote. Not sure which one or two will catch our interest.

Solar- and wind-powered clothes dryer

I wrote about our dryer several months ago. Despite what you may think it’s effective in mid-winter, stuff does dry well when there is sunshine and a breeze, both of which we had until a short time ago. All of this stuff Faye took off the line is hanging in front of the furnace to get the last bit of moisture (what little is left) out, and that little bit will put a bit of welcome humidity in the air.
