Teat Freezing Cold





It is so cold outside...
How cold is it?
It is so cold outside that I just fell in love with my husband of 21 years all over again when he volunteered to do all the outside chores in this -6 degrees F weather; THAT is how cold it is.

Ennis making us look bad
as she actually enjoys the brisk turn of events.

Of course the drastic temperature drop came just as we got our first real snow fall of the season. It in itself was not to bad, 4-6 inches in most areas, but now that winds are picking up we will indeed see some drifting. But even with the cold and the snow we had a good turnout at the farm store today most likely due to the new batch of beef we picked up at Bittners Eureka Locker on Monday.

Chuck, arm and rolled rump roasts beckoned to those wanting hot stews and other comfort foods to get through these days. This am I thawed one of our chickens for a chicken chili. Yes, it was a chicken in my freezer not just a cold bird in the coop. Sheeesh, give me a little credit would you? I might actually cook up a frozen solid bird found in our chicken coop but I would never blog about it.

Anyway, made the chicken chili and fresh cornbread from our own cornmeal  freshly ground from our corn this past summer and then...here's the best part...shared it all with our friends Emma and Kiyoshi from Lucky Duck Farm. These two work so hard to grow such fantastic food and we had not seen them in TOO long, so it was great to break (corn)bread and share farm stories with each other.

And just in case you don't know about Kiyoshi, in addition to his farming skills he has an amazing needle felting skill. You will not believe the detail in his small creatures!

Needle Felted Bird - Cedar Waxwing

Fabulous gifts for those who have everything or better yet for those who don't have everything and need something special. Check out more of his work Here

Now where was I ? Oh yeah it's cold outside, but when friends are able to make it up your drive for a meal and a visit life feels warmer.

  1. That bird is amazing. Of course I thought it was the real thing. I'm still trying to work out what minus 6 F is in Centigrade.

    1. Yes, yes I do. So far all the animals are doing well, but all that extra straw in my bed is a bit itchy.

    1. Well silly us, we choose to live here! In my next life I'm going for moderate weather like Vina Del Mar, Chile. With high's of 74 and lows of 59 I might have to give up tomato growing but sounds like a small sacrifice to make for warm toes.

  6. I'm here to testify on how DR Ogudu was able to help me bring back my husband to me who was under a love spell. My name is Jane Poppleton from United Kingdom. I have been so faithful to my husband, we both enjoy our marriage life not until the wind blew off the candle. My husband became a monster in a human form, his attitude changed, he begins to keep late hour forgetting he is marriage. I kept on trying to talk to him about his sudden change but he felt so unconcern. I can't just sit and let my home fall apart rather i spoke with my friend about it. She smiled at me telling me that i have no worries anymore. I asked "how?" and she told me about DR Ogudu miraculous works. She gave me his email and i wrote him directly at Oguduspellcast@gmail.com concerning my family issue. I got a response from him and he told me not to feel worried anymore. DR DR Ogudu gave me every bit of his words saying that my husband will be mine just the way i wanted it to be and gave me an interval of three (3) days. On the third day, while i was at my garden, my husband came to me on his kneels asking me to forgive him for he lost control over himself. I smiled and told him I always love hime and i will always continue to love him. Today myself and my husband now live happily and things are moving more than fine for us. DRDR Ogudu i say a big thank you for your help.you can contact him with his EMAIL ADDRESS Oguduspellcast@gmail.com him +1316 844-0076
