This is our second day of a three-day series of very cold storms. We got the first snow to actually stick around in our yard yesterday. The kids had some fun sledding after school yesterday and today. The roads are icy and the driveway is impossible to shovel now with ice all over.

I still have about 15 small plants in plastic cups on my back deck from rooting cuttings this summer. I think I should bring them into the garage or somewhere less harsh, since the roots may get damaged by not being insulated in the ground.

I had to take my car to get new tires today, because the old ones were wearing out and lost all grip on the snow. Well, I did get 50,000 miles from those babies, so they lasted well for stock tires on a new car.

I’d better go out and bring those plants into the garage now.
