One does grow accustomed to it, but I fear for your plants, which will not grow accustomed to icy temps that go on for long periods.<br /><br />I would never laugh...no, not even giggle...at your being a wuss over the cold! It'll change again soon. <br /><br />I loved the poetry and although the name is familiar, I've not read Erdrich, I don't think. I will look her up, though.
