Winter
Well it looks like the weather gods have finally decided to bless us with some real winter weather. It was -14 F this morning when I stepped out onto the porch to get some more wood for the fire. What to do when it gets this cold?
1. Listen to music from warm places, like the French Caribbean and Jamaica CDs I got for Christmas.
2. Renew the semi-annual debate about whether to grow my beard out. Pros: warmer face. Cons: as our friend Colin once said, with a beard I look like a Zionist freedom fighter/terrorist, circa. 1947 or 48.
3. Watch the dust collect on the window sill.
4. Check the calendar to see how many more days until it is May.
5. Say the hell with it, bundle up, and go for a snowshoe.
Wondering about the weather on the farm? I have added a link below to this site.
