Hey, it actually made it up to 0 today! I’m sticking pretty close to the house except for venturing out to gather eggs before they freeze… and, yes, some have frozen solid before I get there! I probably should have gone with Vernon out opening water holes for the cows just to show you that…
Whoa
Whoa. The day started at -24 and worked its way to -6 for the high. Needless to say, I planted myself in my house and stayed there. Now, I’ve just woke up from dozing off watching the National Finals Rodeo… brain foggy and barely functional! Here’s your pic of the day… taken from my window……
That’ll Work
The Silent Auction at the library is creeping up on me… Father Christmas remains unfinished… I felt the need to complete *something*… so I rummaged through my piles downstairs… and came up with this for supplies.

Why Wouldn’t We?
Four degrees. Slight breeze handing us a wind chill of -5. Slick roads and ground blizzards. Of course, we went to town today… why wouldn’t we?
A Box
I’m working on an item for our library Silent Auction next week. I chose to use wool, and decided to copy this great vintage Father Christmas card. I know, why not start with a box? Or an apple? NOOOOOO… I have to start with a PERSON for heaven’s…
Easy Life
Tomorrow night is supposed to bring us an Arctic blast of frigid air, with highs in the single digits and snow. I tried to accomplish some preparations before it hits. I split a couple of loads of firewood for the wood stove should the electricity go out! I hung some outdoor Christmas decorations in case…
My Watcher
On these days of highs in the 40’s and 50’s… he still chooses the shade and a snowbank… so long as he can watch me!
