Cold, windy and more freezing rain, frozen water pump, just nice to just hang out here.

Where are we today ?

      Yup it got cold overnight 25 F (-4C) with the wind chill making it much colder.  We have been in this cold before with no issues but the cold wind hitting the side of our coach where the water pump is caused it to freeze up.  That compartment is heated if we ran our furnace more, but then we would be out of propane very quickly. So this morning I put a small electric ceramic heater in that compartment on low and in 15 minutes it is working again. Nice that we have a 15 amp electrical plug here. (thanks Dennis and Sandy) Cold water only to the Kitchen and bathroom taps. The hot water and toilet still not working yet. So I opened the door where the water heater is and put another small heater there on low and about 2 pm the toilet and hot water taps were working again.  But with this ENE 25 mph cold wind hitting that side of the coach across the fields with only some very tall maple trees not blocking it is not helping,  can sure hear the wind howling through the trees Wind from any other direction we are sheltered from. Go figure?
this about says it all for this spring in Canada
saw this on Facebook and just had to share
looking down the road this morning not nice
think we can just leave  our car right here today
later today still not nice
roads plowed but now icy
        So a tasty lunch of more ham/bean soup and a quiet afternoon enjoying our e-readers. And watch a couple of Sunday afternoon movies on TV,  Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies that we enjoy, just like we did when we lived in the area on cold snowy winter Sundays years ago.
     I did a couple short walkabouts for some fresh air and exercise, to check out the road that the snow plow has been down, but most of the day we had freezing rain and sleet. It did get up to 34F(+1C) for a bit. Glad we not going anywhere on these roads. We don't have winter tires or 4wd. Again did not get to see daughter number 2 but she understands will wait for a nicer day.
hmm, glad we not travelling now
icicles everywhere 
         Suzie went in to chat with Sandy this afternoon just before supper and Sandy loaned Suzie a very nice crocheted blanket that she made to keep Suzie's legs extra warm.
nice blanket Sandy , Thanks!
            Eventually time for supper going to bake a large bone in chicken breast to share, like I do on our Weber Q (sure do miss using our Weber Q) and add to a tasty salad.
     And it turned out wonderful so tasty and moist almost as good as on our Weber Q. And of course the salad is our salad.
this was excellent and  big enough to share
     Not a bad day at all, yes it was cold, snowy etc, could be worse, outside but we cozy inside and enjoying this time together reading and watching a couple of action movies and a very tasty supper as well.
     That was our spring ? Day here in Ontario maybe someday soon we will actually have a REAL spring day.
      Wanna thank ya'll for dropping in on our almost ? nice day here in Ontario, Sure hope your weather was much better than this.
