First ride in the rain of the year! Biking in the rain actually isn't so bad once you get going, but it's all the suiting up before and peeling-off of wet slickers afterwards that I dread. Over my regular biking clothes I put on my (slightly too large) rain pants, neon ankle straps (to hold back the excess material of the rain pants so they don't snag in my bike chain), shoe covers, rain jacket, and gloves. It doesn't sound like much but it takes a surprisingly long time to get suited up and a doubly-long time to strip them off afterwards because they're all wet and gritty from the mud flecks that got kicked up and stuck to me during the ride. But during the ride? I'm in my little warm bubble, protected from the elements and happy.

Storm's a'comin'! Had to cover up my grow boxes to protect them from the freeze tonight.

TFW you covered your grow boxes the night before the freeze but you didn’t think to provide structural support so the snow crushed your baby sprouts through the sheet that was supposed to be protecting them 😬

Our house is 111 years old and mostly windows so the insulation from the cold is non-existant. The house groans and creaks in the wind like a ship at sea. We have space heaters and hot water bottles and wood-burning stove all on full force, which keeps it from feeling freezing but the house is most definitely C O L D. No, wait, I take it back- The inside of the house is literally freezing, as evidenced by the panels of ice that sit on the inside of our windows from the condensation freezing. We tromped over to our friend's (modern, insulated) house on foot to partake in hot chocolate.
See you next week!
