Sunday, while the Landlady was still here, the weather got cloudy and blustery and the temperature started to fall. Yesterday was just friggin' miserable - cold with horizontal snow flurries. I couldn't leave W's door propped open because the wind and snow were coming from the north, and ended up in his lair watching a movie with his dogs during the afternoon.
Sometime after dark the sky cleared, and the temperature crashed. I woke up a little after midnight, let the boys out before I looked at the clock, and could barely get the door open. The windows were already growing ice flowers. I had to turn the heater on, and the lair stayed so cold I never did get deeply back to sleep.
And this morning...well, I still have hope the temperature will rise to the point where I can get something done. I've got a trailer-full of Organic! All-Natural! fertilizer than needs to be spread before I go shovel shit tomorrow. When I went to rescue W's dogs this morning, Beauty came with me like she usually does and then when I got to my door I nearly tripped over Redgirl who'd done a stealth approach between my feet. I've been leaving W's stove on with the door propped open, but I gather that last night it didn't really cut it. Practically had to pry his door open.
Winter's back. Yuck.
