Winter is always a difficult period. The number of everyday problems clearly exceeds the amount of time I can devote to them. That's why I constantly have different inconsistencies. I think it would be easier in a city apartment, while living in a country house requires more effort. Although, on the other hand, a country house gives more autonomy and more options for overcoming crisis situations. I made this conclusion during the war.
My dogs don't worry too much about all this. They are happy that I have a vacation and I am at home all the time. They don't care about the rest. War, apocalypse, weather cataclysms - as long as I'm around, they consider their lives beautiful.
My yard and garden are something I'm not too worried about now. In the end, I can't do almost anything about it. I'm not trying. It will be spring, then I will deal with all this. Are feats superfluous? In this case, definitely yes.
The only thing I'm worried about here is my cats. For some incomprehensible reason, they stubbornly do not want to be in the house. That's why I have to make sure that they have everything they need to live in this weather.
Meanwhile, the mushroom season has started in my house. Every year I tell myself that I'm doing it for the last time, but every January I persistently order a kit for growing mushrooms. On the other hand, the idea is not so bad. At least I don't need to look for them in the store 😂
Another additional item to the list of household chores is my birds. In such weather, it is necessary to make sure that they have food and water and that they are warm. Well... it only takes a couple of months to endure, and then spring will begin.
