altivoOr is that midget digits? Anyway, what the mercury is again, and dropping. Heading down to about 3F or -15C again tonight, not that it was really that warm during the day, either.
Gary's brother and family came for lunch and then took his mom back to their place. We dashed over to our neighbor Toni's, because she was having an "anti-football" sale today in her yarn and spinning shop and I wouldn't think of missing something that is "anti-football." Picked up two books at a nice discount, and got to chat a bit with some friends who were there, as well as Toni and Al who looked like they'd had enough of a day and were ready to shoo us all out (only they're too nice to actually do it usually.)
Back home to do the barn work, bed down ponies and sheep and ducks and prepare hay for the morning while Gary brought in a barrow full of firewood to the garage. Stove has been going for 24 hours continuously now, which is what really gets the draft running right and warms the brick hearth and backstop, so it's nice inside despite the cold outside. In fact, it got so warm indoors (75F) this afternoon that we opened a window briefly and shut down the thermostat on the stove.
Now the holidays are officially over, and we have a whole weekend to recover in before I go back to work and Gary goes back to graduate school. Two whole days! Gosh, what are we gonna do with that?
