So up until this week, the weather in Chicago hasn't been too terrible. And after a couple snow-less weeks, I was happily walking around outdoors, varying between several of my gym shoes, depending on what color I was wearing that day. THEN, it started to snow. And the following morning, it was still snowing. And all over the newscasts were weather reports about a blizzard coming our way.
Luckily, Ricky's mom gave me some long underwear for Christmas, so I've been making it a habit to wear them under my pants when I go out. But the other night, the weather was absolutely brutal. Windchill of negative 17ish or so. I did not want to go out at all, I just wanted to stay inside, nice and toasty in my apartment and perhaps watch the new episode of The Office. But no, I had made plans and wanted to hang out with people so I went out in the brutal, negative degree weather. Several hours later, as I had decided to finally go home... the car wouldn't start! Luckily my friend had some jumper cables, but nobody really knew how to connect them so it took us about 10-15 minutes or so before we actually got the car started.

I was trying out the insulated Ethel Gloves yesterday while doing a bit of winter gardening. I'm testing them out for them so they can make changes as needed. I figured harvesting my beets in 20 degree weather would be a perfect test.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my contacts, their families, and anyone viewing.
Despite killing frosts and low temperatures, this Petunia in my front garden refuses to give up and say "I'm done" after all the other summer flowers have shriveled up and died from the cold, this petunia has decided to offer another round of flowers. To me, this surely says Spring is coming, and we have a lot to be thankful for.
Enjoy the holiday everyone.

Again I went to explore some more of Kampinos National Park in Poland. I got lucky because it was sunny again!
Our temperatures have been much colder than usual here, so I figured things wouldn’t be doing as well as they should be. Usually our temperatures in December are in the 30′s. This December our temperatures have been in the 20′s and the teens. The days have also been very cloudy, which doesn’t help warm up the low tunnels.
I have 2 different varieties of spinach growing in my low tunnel ‘Catalina’ and ‘Giant Winter’. So far they both seem to be doing well, I think the ‘Catalina’ might be doing slightly better. We’ll see which variety starts producing faster when it warms in the spring.

Weather at the Carnival makes this woman shiver in discomfort. Her man looks warm and happy, though.
....despite the sun & blue sky but I was reasonably "toasty" wearing plenty of layers!!
