It's 15ºF at 9:15 a.m. and not expected to get much warmer today. We heat the main house with wood. Lots of wood! We have a wood furnace in the cellar. There are also 2 wood stoves upstairs that we light of it gets really cold. The guest house is heated with oil. I'm waiting for an oil delivery this morning. It's supposed to be $2.34 per gallon. If the last people didn't leave the windows open, maybe we wouldn't need to buy any oil. Why would people leave the windows open when it was 20 degrees F out anyway?
I think I better go throw another log on the fire. I'm cold.

Skating anyone?
I heard the ice is thick enough to skate. If only it wasn't so darn cold........yeah, I know, then the ice wouldn't be thick enough. But geezum crow yesterday it didn't get above 10ºF! And we're going to go outside and play?! I guess we'll have to find some wood for a fire. And you know what that means.......Marshmallows!!

Fog is stealing our snow
It was 37ºF at about 6:30 this a.m. It is supposed to get near 60 today!
We finally get some decent snow and now, between the rain and temps, it's going fast.
The girls have some great luge runs up at their fort. They shoveled paths when the snow was deep and packed the sides. They are pretty clever. Then of course the rain iced them so they are F-A-S-T too.

Winter has arrived!
The girls have had their sleds out already today........yes, it's the first SNOW DAY of the season!!!
Joe has his snowmobile for sale so he's out there running it and fine tuning it. A few guys are supposed to come to see it later today.
We're covered with snow! Now it's raining and about 24º so the roads are a sheet of ice and the snow is crusty. Hopefully it will be good for runner sleds later this afternoon!
The goats were hesitant about going out in the white stuff. The cows were wild like young calves, kicking up their heels when we let them out. They'll probably be let in early this afternoon since they aren't going to find too much to munch on out in the pasture.
No reservations for the guest house until the 17th so you can come on up!
