This winter time we have had a lot of cold weather.
All of the trees are losing their branches and the critters have hibernated.
The only thing that can survive this cold weather is the deer. They seem to be everywhere, especially at night when there is snow on the ground. One of my siblings hit a deer with his vehicle while in the first week of winter time and he completely totaled the vehicle. It would not run again after he hit the deer. I’ve had some problems with the furnace in my house. My place is truly drafty and there are lots of cracks and crevices where cold air enters the house. My furnace has to run and run in order for the new home to reach the desired temperature. It does not typically get warm in my home office. I decided to buy a new portable heating system this year. I had an outdated small space heating system that plugged into the wall. I was always tripping over the cord and the heat was at the floor and not up near my face where I wanted it when I was sleeping. The portable heating system is about 30 in off the ground. The portable heating system is on Wheels so it can be moved someplace that I want it to go. Sometimes I put the portable heating system in the living room if I want to spend a couple of hours learning a book or watching a film. The rest of the time I leave the space heating system in the home office where it makes sleeping a lot more toasty and cozy.
