I'm about ready to settle for that lukewarm state!  

Our first hard frost was unusually late in arriving this year.  But when it did it took the old mercury in the thermometer and plunged it way down and I rather doubt we'll be seeing the other side of zero till spring.  You'd think that would give us some time off for good behavior.  But an irratic fall left us quite flat footed and lots of odds and ends weren't attended to.  My poor bunny is still swinging from a tree branch!  His smile is surely frozen in place as he can't be enjoying himself that much!  lol

I did get a cold room somewhat renovated but the door isn't in place so I'm not sure how everything is going to make out in there.  My kitchen geraniums received a severe pruning that left me a tad miffed.  Now they will also be hiding their nakedness among the jars and veggies!    So the basement is rather warm.

The kitchen window had frost forming so he who pays the heating bills was out putting plastic over that window.  That took a bit longer as he had to keep sticking his fingers under the old armpits.  But my geraniums would have appreciated the cold air being cut off.  As it is.... well, let's just leave sleeping geraniums lie!  8^)

My sewing room is next for plastic but the 2 story window will be getting it from the inside and  heaven help me if I poke it!  But across the hall the occupants are putting a perfectly sized and heavy gardening book over the heating vent.  The vent comes straight up from the furnace and just pours that hot, dry  air into that small bedroom.  Now that is where the newlyweds stay so leaving their door open and sharing with the rest of us won't be an option until at least the first anniversary!  Now our bedroom must also be shut because I refuse to let Dh plastic that windy window because I like fresh air at night.  More accurately life has played a mean trick and I no longer need 3 quilts and a hot water bottle.  Poor Dh now grabs any quilts that I discard!   LOL

But the good news is that everything is getting a nice blanket of snow outside and I'm expecting that under their covers things are just the right temperature!
