ICE STORM












Wow is it scary. Northern Arkansas calls it their worst ice


storm ever. Going out to the mailbox you think you hear


everyone shooting off guns - in reality it is tree limbs crashing


down - yikes!

Working Outside in January - woohoo!

Right now it's 56 degrees! Worked some thing morning outside to
get a jump on spring cleanup. Cut down the old peppermint and cleaned
out the north bed of that - and raked and burned it all. Hauled wood ash
to a couple more garden beds. And picked up some limbs on the north
side of the property. Go me!

Came home, walked dogs, watching a bit of the
inauguration stuff. Have chicken and veggies in the
crock pot for dinner. ps not going to buy the house,
instead going to remodel here. Pic taken last weekend,
when we were going out for mexican (hooray). Instead
we went out for chinese (boo). Mexican this next

Making an offer on a house

....granted it will be low ball.
The house is interesting. HUGE! 3600 sf or something
like that? 4 br and 3.5 baths. Well if you count a toilet
as a half bath, let me explain. Off of the family room there
is a door, open the door and it is a narrow small room, to
the right is another door that leads to the garage - to the
left is a toilet. :) The house needs some work, but nothing
major that we've found yet. We haven't checked the well
for instance, or the furnace and a/c. The soffitt and faschia
needs work, the windows are old, lots of painting. Some
minor stuff here and there, electrical is a mess. Flooring is
all good that we noticed, basement dry and crack free - no
signs of it ever having water problems. Cool bathroom in
the basement! Neat that it has a master bath off of the
bedroom. Cost of heating with propane would be a nightmare.
