When the thermostat is in the room with a fireplace or woodburner, you can drape a damp cloth on the thermostat and it will make the furnace stay on longer for the other rooms. I also close the heat vents in the livingroom when I burn so the furnace heat goes to other rooms instead. Maybe this helps you, maybe not. Bottom line, keep warm this week. It's gonna be a doozy.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-20271882109998624322015-01-05T06:10:52.663-06:002015-01-05T06:10:52.663-06:00and it is supposed to get colder.......and it is supposed to get colder.......gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-73458125324921590472015-01-05T06:10:02.028-06:002015-01-05T06:10:02.028-06:00I thnik I have heard that the winter is supposed ...I thnik I have heard that the winter is supposed to be bad.....it is so far as temps go. We got down to 10°. <br /><br />I used to make tiny turnovers with those biscuits by rolling them out in a circle and adding a dollop of jam, sealing and baking. Dusted powder sugar over the tops. Our daughter asked me about those a couple of days ago. At the ripe old age of 46 she is becoming interested more in cooking! gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-86401674878138718712015-01-05T06:07:02.551-06:002015-01-05T06:07:02.551-06:00I forgot to mention the miter saw that I use for a...I forgot to mention the miter saw that I use for angled cuts or chop cuts.

Frigid temps here too for the rest of the week. About 1" of snow after 1.5" of rain. Brrrr. Glad I'm inside. Your apple tarts look wonderful! Are you working the woodburner these days?

I have the a.c. on.<br /><br />Your apple muffin tarts look delicious and easy. I can almost smell them.<br /><br />I wish I lived near you so you could show me how to use power hand tools. Learning from a 'lady' would be nice. My DH did all of that sort of thing. The tools scare me. I do want to learn how to use the circular saw. I have used the band saw a little, the jig saw, and the reciprocating saw or saws-all as we called it.<br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement and for being the inspiration that you are to me dear Glenda.<br /><br />Have a great 2015 ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
