Callie, my daughter lives in Port Richey, Florida and was talking with her on the phone a couple days ago and she said she was freezing with temps down in the 20s. We here in Ohio have a cold weather advisory until Tuesday evening with temps in the feels like -7 degrees. We had annual doctor checkups today and cancelled, just didn't want to get out in the windy, snowy freezing weather.
Barb, that pic and saying is how we all are feeling.
Jane, welcome back! So glad your computer is fixed.
Amy, we are not tired of hearing about the dance, but I bet you are tired of having to do it.
OLM, if ever there is an ethnic group of boundary crossers it is Italians. I've never known one who didn't say what was on their mind. lol the first time I ever heard the phrase, "We can respectfully agree to disagree." it was a wakeup call for me. That one sentence has brought me much peace of mind.

Good frosty freezy morning,
Its currently 19°F, the condensate on the windows is frozen, the frozen fog is just starting to lift. The hoarfrost is over an inch long on every grass and twig. 🥶 The indoor temperature is up to 59°F.

Yes, the Romans did get up into Scotland. They didn't stop at the more famous Hadrian's Wall. They began building the Antonine Wall in 142AD between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. It was subsequently abandoned only eight years after completion. Most recently, the mysterious disappearance of the 9th Legion may have been solved. Researchers found, at the end of 2024 or in January of 2025, by using LiDAR-equipped drones and AI ground-penetrating radar what looks like a make shift Roman fort. Further investigation showed evidence of a large battle having taken place. This is in the Cairngorm Mountains which is east of Aberdeen in the central part of upper Scotland, not a place you would expect to see Roman troops. I am going to have to see if there is newer information about the site.

You are right about not seeing much, if any, information about early weaving in Scotland. I will have to see what I can find out. I can guess, though, that until the rich landowners came along and destroyed the earlier farming methods of small land holders and replaced it with large landholders and their newer systems of agricultural management, that the wool industry was relatively small. I am not at all sure that that was the only reason, or even the main reason for the forced changes in agricultural management. The Clearances, in part at least, were a result of the Industrial Revolution and its' new mechanized looms which needed more wool than small landholders could provide (not to mention the expense of dealing with many small holders vs. large landholders. It was also a way to further break up the clans who had given the English such a hard time for years. The Scots, of course, were not at all happy about being forced into a new mold by overseers or deported to new lands overseas. We may be seeing something similar going on today. Big money, new tech, the push to force people into a new way of thinking and living. Do you see it?
