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.)

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
