Oh yeah, it's cold

Jolee, I feel your plant pain. I forgot to bring my seedlings in when we went to Madison, and the little tomato plants are, now, dead. The herbs appear to have survived, however. I can one-up you in the 'cold' department.....we heat our house with a wood furnace. During the last weekend of April, my husband cleaned-out, shut-off, and disconnected the furnace. WE HAVE NO HEAT!!!!!!

It's 4 degrees Celsius outside and 18 degrees Celsius inside. I'm not sure what that is in REAL temperature format, but suffice it to say that it's C-O-L-D!!

Maybe I'll go sit in the car with the heat on.....

OK, you beat me on that one. 18 degrees celsius sounds FREEZING!!! Can you reconnect the furnace? Can you stay in a hotel? That is what I would do. find a great hotel with a great hot tub in the room and warm up!!!

I started a fire in the fireplace and turned the ceiling fans on full blast. It has brought the temperature up to 22C (which is more than we keep it during the winter)...and, if all else fails, it's about a million degrees up in the loft (which has a queen-sized bed and doubles as our guest room). Even in the winter, whoever sleeps up there has to open the window. So, there is an alternative....besides the car or a hotel. But I do wish that the temperatures would be a little more consistent!!!!
