    We left the lights on over night last night. I just thought it looked cool from my back doors. We are having a hard time with our furnace in this zero degree temps but we will survive.

    A great opportunity for the party animal plants to celebrate. A little music and the plants will party till dawn. The weather is not conducive to furnace problems. Lets hope it warms up soon.

    Barb, it is a little warmer here today and sunshiny, but it is supposed to get really cold tomorrow night thru Wed...keep warm, best as you can. If nothing else put some buckets of water out there (a 55 gal drum would be best) if you have some sunshine to heat it up it will make a great heat release for at night time.

    Keep as comfortable as possible. Sounds like your part of the world is getting some pretty wintry weather.

    Thank you all for the patches and seeds. We are on our way out to deliver our furnace to the repair guy. If he likes us he will slip it in first.

    Fingers crossed XXXXXX.

    Looks icy outside to me and still with substitute heating it's over warm inside. Things are dry but still living. They will sure be happy to get outside come Spring....

    Not a nice place to sit s spell with a cup of coffee at the moment. There are propane heaters sitting down all the isles that you have to be very careful not to walk into and sometimes the chicken waterers are sitting in the other isle to thaw out. When this weather gets better and my furnace gets repaired and back in, I will be out there with that coffee.

    That is a nice update to see. From way over this side, they all look pretty darn good to me. Your lean-to greenhouse is working very well, isn't it. Those plants look comfy even though, as you say--they will no doubt be quite glad to get out into the warmer natural elements when the time is right.

    Bring a PC and show the chap how many people from all over the world are watching your greenhouse and plants. Maybe he'll slip you in before you have trouble the next time. ;-)

    LOL very cute. He calls me the greenhouse lady and I walked in telling him it cost $20 a day to not have my furnace. He has slipped me in from of the long line already but he should give me a discount for having so many people from around the world, keeping an eye on his work. LOL

    Barb, your plants are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I sure hope your repairman gets the heater fixed quick.
