I love reading your winter weather (or lack of) stories--so many wonderful images. Nicole--I'm wearing new cozy slippers right now. : ) Linda Sue--I am so envious of that delicious sounding lunch!<BR/><BR/>We are here and fine, busy taking care of the critters and preparing for the temperature to plummet to around zero. I hope to have a photo and a paragraph or two up later.

Even young'uns need to avoid falls when it is icey. We've had ice also - not as bad as predicted but if this is global warming the temperature needs to change! Praising trough/tank floating deicers, plenty of firewood and no power outages in our area - made your beer batter bread and roasted pork tenderloins for lunch - oh and pineapple upside down cake just for balance.
