Freezing Rain

It came in earlier than the last weather I had looked at. It started as I was walking home about 1:30. I put the chickens up even earlier today and they went in without arguing. But they don't like wet weather. I did have to hit a few things to break the ice off while I was outside.
I spent most of the day inside. Just walked and played games. I need to do some crocheting tonight. I have a couple of things to finish and then start some new ones. So that will keep me busy.
Hope you had a good day.

We didn't get cold as fast as predicted but we're still at 35F at 8:15 pm. At least the prediction for snow/rain mix was taken off the table...
My brother came by at noon today and brought some groceries we didn't order... When I told him they weren't ours, he said he could still bring stuff to us even if we didn't order it.
He's a goofball at times.

Ouch. I bet you'll be glad when the weather clears. Glad the chickens went in with little fuss.

@wolfgirl569 Yay on the melting! It's pretty again today with a high supposed to reach 79. It was 75 when I went outside earlier.

Brr! Freezing day. We had several inches v of snow a couple days ago. Took two days to melt off. Glad we didn't get any more.

It's a lazy sunday here and I plan to do just the bare minimum. I have nothing much planned. I have a long week ahead. I want to get good rest.
My daughter is crocheting right now. I wish I was also good at that

Looks like the weather caught you by surprise. The best part is the chickens cooperated – they may not like getting wet like how we humans do. Breaking off ice does not seem easy or fun but I guess you need to spend most of the day inside staying warm. That’s not easy at all. Crocheting looks a good way to stay busy for the evening. I would like to try perhaps when I get like more time. I definitely agree that finishing old projects and starting new are always satisfying and brings in a state of achievement. Hope the weather gets better and you have a great relaxing weekend ahead!

Aww, crocheting! That’s so sweet.
Yesterday it rained all day but I had no plans aside from grocery shopping so that was fine. I even felt warm enough to leave the bedroom window slightly open to let the sound of the rain in and soothe me to sleep. Then I woke up at 4 for a toilet break, closed the window and got back to sleep.

@wolfgirl569 I can imagine! I was "brave" enough to try and luckily I didn't freeze right away. It didn't go as well other times before.
