At the owlhoot - plenty of mesquite wood and Rebel Yell, so I will make it through the night :)

Wind chill out here is 8. I won't be sitting on the porch tonight.

It's a balmy 22 out in southern Wise. Definitely leaving the water dripping in my little country shack tonight.

Also tended to the neighbors' house today: made sure the heat was running and their pump house had heat. They were traveling back home and were stranded by icy roads.

I just let the dogs out. They did not stay long. Now in the chair with me. Feel like ice cubes.

10 degrees here on the frozen plains of northern Colorado on New Years Day. But, it's only 15 back in Plano!!! Global warmin' I guess.

Back outside. 15 F with a wind chill of 3. I think I will wait a while before I head out to the pasture to check on the cows.
