We had a small warm-up yesterday, which was a HUGE help.  Finally, Terry and I got the frozen drain working down at the other house.

Terry is still perplexed why the drain froze.

Last night the temperature didn’t drop as terribly low as normal, which was another nice thing.

Today another storm is rolling in.  The weather people said we could have RAIN this afternoon.  RAIN?!?!  What an odd thought for this time of year.  I guess we will find out later on today.

Outside everything is quiet, I can not hear the Canada Geese or the Sandhill Cranes.  Sometimes I can hear in the far distance cow talking to another cow…it’s too early for calves yet.

There is a sense of ‘hunkering down’ — a waiting.

“Storm coming! Prepare, hole up, stay warm.”
