OK, it's cold enough, thanks...

We're at -6°F and dropping. The "freezeless" hydrant in one barn is frozen. Oddly, that has never happened before, even when we had temperatures of -20 a few years back. The animals are not complaining much, actually, as long as they get fed and preferably extra rations.

I'm complaining though. I'm getting old enough for this to make my joints stiff. We have the woodstove going 24 hours a day, which we haven't done at all in recent years. The house is comfortable enough, but going outside to do animal chores is painful.

Supposed to be worse tomorrow, then gradually improving. No long posts from here for a day or two. It's too cold to sit at the computer (far end of the house from the woodstove.)

Are you eating that football?? O.O

Mind your manners, kitten. The "dog" in those photos is a for real wolf. You might look a little too tasty to him.

I didn't call him a dog :P I just asked if he was eating the football, he says its a canine thing, well lupine thing technically.

Of course not, I'm just chewing on it. It's a canine thing.

Of course it is probably made out of some yucky tasting modern synthetic material. Back in the days when they were made of real leather or pigskin...

Yeah, it's just a cheapie plastic one from Hell-Mart, but it's for Yukon to pop and then chew on.

Actually, it didn't taste that bad, but my jaw was getting tired while I was waiting for Kodian to snap the picture :D

Besides, I figured it was a good icon, given that it was Superbowl weekend.

I thought maybe you were auditioning for the Puppy Bowl.

A Superbowl photo should have shown you stuffing your face with snack food. ;p
