Also in Northern California and there is still ice all over the ground.  
The ravens are using their beaks to break the ice on their water
bowl.  The cold weather gives new meaning to pain in all of the
joints.  Have new appreciation of what it must mean to lupies
in really cold areas.........    ruth

This cold weather bites!  We are not prepared for it.  I have no flannel
jammies.... but my hubby has sweats and I'm wearing those but have to pull
'em up every few steps.  LOL

This is the valley!  We are not supposed to get this weather.  Looks like
all our produce is gone cuz we've had so many hard freezes.
Around the orange orchards, they have heaters, fans and helicopters flying
(circulates air to try and prevent freeze) and they've watered (if you water
your plants before the freeze, the water freezes around the plant and
insulates it)
But even w/all these attempts, they said the oranges are frozen and we'll
have to wait and see how they react- sometimes they can thaw and be ok and
other times, they look like pears and are NASTY.
My garden is gone!  I threw a sheet over my ficus but brought my canna
inside.  Ficus has frost damage even those it's under the porch.  Thought
about bringing it in but they're so sensitive to movement too.  Keeping my
fingers crossed, I love this tree!  LOL

Did I mention I need 2 root canals and 1 tooth is KILLING ME!  I'm eating
Norco (3 at a time) like candy, using Anbesol and nothing.  I can feel the
enamel falling off.  Lupus has messed up my teeth SO badly.  Makes me angry!
Anyways....
Stay warm
Nicole

Ev, glad that you are getting relief from your restless legs and sleeping
peacefully.
