Re: The new winter thread - 2018-19
Oh poor ducks...are they Indian Runners? Love the little red car too...very lovely. Did you build the garage? I think I have it’s twin...many horrible nights spent putting it together after the concrete pad was laid. I lost count of quite how many nuts and bolts one could drop.
I too like the little red car, sadly that belongs to dbd33. We have a similar construction to his garage on our property but it's a barn in our case. Thankfully it was already here when we moved in. I suspect the divorce courts would be getting business if we had to build that ourselves.
Edited to add: it seems dbd33 and I posted at much the same time. Apparently it's a barn there too

Yes they are Indian Runners, we breed them, they are a lot of fun. They seem to quite like snow and are very cold hardy (fortunately). Its better in there now.

Persons interested in little red cars may be surprised to know that there's a garage quite nearby that sells and maintains them (I didn't know this before buying mine from Florida):

I'm aware of the argument that "a fancy car" is not strictly speaking a requirement but would point out that I currently have no yachts at all. We all must cut our coat according to our cloth.

. You can stash a lot of things in those building...when we put it up I thought holy hell why did we get one so big...now we can hardly jam the snowblower in it! We erected it in late October, trying to outrun the impending frost...we didn’t...

Yes we had a contractor lay the pad too. I discovered after what I thought was a reasonably happy marriage, that my husband can be nothing short of a bullying tyrant...my son who was 11 at the time and me we’re drafted into a flat out work schedule on that thing and I still have nightmares about the first hoop...and all the other hoops that followed

This rubbish makes us different doesn’t it...once you ‘get’ that really horrid stormy crapy winter nonsense...I ‘think’ it defines you...I don’t know how much we have coming tomorrow and I weigh less than our snow blower, and I don’t know how it works and am on my own for the next while...but once you know that it’s not going to stop you, a mental shift happens...there is a certain stubbornness that makes you find the nearest snow shovel!
This time next week it’s going to be an hour lighter!!! We will be Springing Forward...that Winter thing will be done for another year...we are on the downward straight...we Can do this thing

What you say is true though, sometimes you just have to make it happen. Good luck, I have faith that you will cope!

Re: The new winter thread - 2018-19
I'm sick of winter. Yesterday was the first time I've felt the warmth of the sun in four months.
