coming back to the north. Cold next week here and many other places!

Time to lay in supplies and get the vehicles ready. Under no circumstances do you ever, ever want to run out of beer.

It's too damed cold out and has been all week. I used to tolerate cold better than this....Grrrrr. Mid 20's all day and low teens at night.

We have snow coming tomorrow so yesterday was a leaf clearing marathon.

There was a thin layer of ice over our bird bath water this morning.

Must have gotten down to about 30.

The high is forecasted to be 52 today.

High 69 Low 52 and cloudy with 0 chance of rain

We had a 1/4 inch of rain a week ago, that's it this winter.

I've emptied my bird baths to prevent freeze damage to them. The squirrel water dish is frozen solid though. I wait until I see a squirrel at it and go put warm water in it. It waits until I leave and them drinks up. It's been dry as hell her and with this hard freeze it's even drier.

I'm heading for New Orleans, Lafayette, Austin and the Hill Country next Wednesday for 10 days of food and music. Hopefully, the cold weather won't get all the way down there.

We have plenty of provisions to last a few days, anyhow. I got the generator squared away a couple months ago. (Rebuilt the carburetor and cleaned all electrical connections/contacts.) So, we good.
