Cold Spell

Going through a cold spell. It seems to be something we live through at least once a month and it does not matter if we are in Texas or Iowa. Grrr.
At any rate, today Butch and I managed to get quite a list of things done. Butch installed a  new outlet on our new patio and at the same time adding one inside where we had developed a need for it. It involved at least two...hmm I think 3 trips into the crawl space. Not a place he goes willingly.
In the meantime, I did several loads of laundry and made a casserole for supper. So it has been a full day.
Our car is in the hospital getting mostly cosmetic surgery from the deer encounter in Florida. We should have it back tomorrow. Fortunately, we live in a town where we can get everything we need within blocks. Leo and Keri offered a car, but we are getting along fine. I looked at  a recipe this morning that sounded simple and appealing and as luck would have it all the ingredients were in the house. Didn't even have to send Butch to the HyVee that is only 3 blocks away!
Maybe by Thursday we will have warm enough weather to walk/bike the trail. And after that we can get to some of our outdoor to do list.
