Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

So far its down to 20. State of emergency in several counties. It just doesn't happen here. Not worried about my inside pipes. This place was redone in 2018 down to the studs, and new code for insulation. I "think" its 2x6 framing - never really checked. Its the outside pipes that I'm worried about. There are alot of hose bibs out there now.

I cannot sleep. Two nites ago, I didn't fall asleep until 1, and then fitfully. The damn dream of riding a bike, which was hard to turn cus nobody had checked the power steering fluid, and the pedals were impossible to push on, so I had to put both feet on one side and then switch to the other side. Also at a Mall where I was with my bike, I was looking for Sears or JCPenney. Couldn't find them. Some man came up to me and said Ms. Murphysranch? Is that you? Are you all right? I said no, and he walked away. When I got up at 7:30, I could barely see out of my eyes.

Same thing last nite. Took three hours to fall asleep fully, and then fitfully until I got up at 5:30 this morning. Bleary eyed for sure.

I hope you faired well over night,, going to be a colder repeat of yesterday. The sky was as clear as it could be at 2am,,

We hit 10°. It actually kept fluctuating between 10 and 12° all night. At 10:45 here we're up to 20°

All the chickens did fine. The silkies did wait until it was actual sunrise to get up instead of getting up at the first bit of predawn.

Like seeing the bull's "breath" in the picture...

Calves are in seventh heaven with all that bedding...

Single digits here. Interesting side effect from the storm system. The prevailing winds are pushing water out of the shallow western Lake Erie basin, exposing part of the lake bed. Kinda cool

Point Place's 'Dynamite Dock' revealed as Lake Erie water pushed out of Western Basin

Like an eerie apparition, the final remains of a massive 1884 explosion revealed themselves on Saturday to curious Point Placers.
