Settling In For The Winter

 Hubby has been putting covers on our water faucets outside. Now he has a heavy insulated blanket he bought to cover our outside water meter. We had an outside leak a few days ago... Actually, the water company had the leak and fixed it. Now the meter sits above the ground instead of in the ground as before. We don't want any leaks so this is our $40 investment.

The remaining root vegetables will be collected today or maybe tomorrow. Everything will be pulled up. Hubby wanted to make a few more above-ground garden containers, but the sun hasn't come out yet so that is on hold. 

We were headed north to Illinois for some business matters but have since changed our minds. We are not in a hurry and do NOT want to deal with ice and snow. If you think you have it bad check out their weather. This would be the area we would go to in Illinois.

It will be in the teens at night here in central Texas and a couple days won't reach above freezing. I am sure the fireplaces will be a smokin'. Our outside dog will be inside at night with us for a few days. 

Be safe and stay warm.
