You know, Pam, we don't just stand around all day outside when it is
below zero. And we do have furnaces. There's nothing happening in the
garden demanding our attention, like watering ;+). I agree though that I
wouldn't want an outside job in that weather, like fixing potholes or
climbing telephone poles. Actually, I wouldn't want to do that kind of
work in any weather.
