Keeping Warm This Winter (Was CHRIS!!!!!!!!)

[Guest guest]

Long Johns are a must here during certain times of the Winter weather season.

 

Now for some quick winter warming tips .... showering with a mild Peppermint

Soap is a good way to start a cold day .. Peppermint actually cools the body

in summer and warms it in winter! Cayenne pepper powder in the socks (if

you aren't allergic to it) is a way to keep the feet warm .. Rosemary is

good for circulation and the EO is nice added to lotion for use in winter

.... and last but not least - keep your head covered as most heat escapes

that way .....

 

Hope everyone is feeling toasty warm this winter ....

Marilyn,

 

When you said

that everyone there was cold...it reminded me of when we lived in FL, years

ago. My hubby worked nights at the Winn Dixie warehouse...jockeying semis

around. Well...it was an unusually cold winter that year and he mentioned

something to one of his co-workers about having to dig out his long johns

to wear to work. The co-worker had no idea what long-johns were. We northerners

got a kick out of that one!! LOL

Up here we never really put them away, 'cept maybe in August for about 2

weeks. lol

We thrive on remembering each others mis pronounced and mangled words so

due to a mispronunciation 20 some-odd years ago " insulated underwear "

have been " isolated underwear " .

There's that feeling agin of 'age' creeping up on me.

In da UP of Michigan. I admit I exagerated a bit, we did have a good

whole month of August, excruciatingly hot to me, some 80's and 90's.

We have gotten our 30's already and now it is in the 40's. Heat wave

compared to what is in store for us. The weather went mild a few years

ago and now it is getting back to normal. Prolly about ten years ago(not

sure) we had a winter that was -40 for weeks, it seemed like Sault Ste

Marie had a new frozen water main every night. Most of the city was on

'let run' that winter. We had an influx of owls, I think great grays

that normally only inhabit arctic areas.

Weather fluctuates in what appears to be 7-10 yr cycles. I don't mind, I

love it up here. DH talks about moving somewhere warmer(he's from here)

and tries to tempt me by talking about better gardening elsewhere. I'll

only want to move when it gets crowded here. If there's no where else to

go I'll put up a 10 ft privacy fence around all our woods. I can dream I

guess.
