We've had a bit of a thaw since yesterday morning, when I took these pictures. It's 34º F out there right now (1.1º C), which is positively balmy compared to the past few nights. In fact temperatures are supposed to stay mostly above freezing for the foreseeable future.
I took the lamp out of the avocado's shroud, mostly to preserve the bulb in case temperatures get back into the 20's and we need it again. I remember trying to buy a new bulb for a lava light years ago and having a terrible time finding one, so I want to make it last! As it gets a bit warmer I might even take the shroud off for a while to give the poor tree some light and air.
I didn't leave the house yesterday. I did a few things here and there housekeeping-wise, but otherwise just read and noodled around online. I finally started "The Bee Sting" and polished off 125 pages. I'm really liking it so far! The plot has grabbed me and I'm very eager to see how the story is going to spin out.
Otherwise, not much news. I'm just glad we're (slightly) warmer.

ReplyDeleteI had never come across the term "noodle around" before so I had to google it... "No one knows where the term “noodling” originated, but many speculate it could be that a giant, squirmy catfish is like a wet noodle, or because noodlers sometimes wiggle their fingers — like wet spaghetti — in front of a catfish's face to lure them." So now I know.
