Polar Vortex

 That's all anybody is talking about these days.

It's 

C O L D!!!

Which means we are staying indoors most of the time.

Although, yesterday we did drive into town for Church.

And THIS happened in our Ford Ranger!

(Time to SELL IT!)

hahahaha

(We are planning to get rid of it before April this year...)

Anyhow.

It's chilly outside.

But nice and toasty warm inside.

Especially since we all got new thermals.

So we are "fluffy", but comfy.

(I took this picture of my thermometer before I

turned up the furnace for the day. I usually set it

on about 72, that seems to be a comfortable setting.)

As long as we keep the humidifier running,

we are doing well inside.

And the chickens don't seem to care either way.

The dogs.... Luna (Rottweiler) LOVES the cold.

Bandit (Blue Heeler) isn't as happy, but she's ok.

Yesterday we had leftover beef stroganoff for lunch

and I made a YUMMY beef Arm Roast for dinner.

Just put it in the crockpot with some beef stock and

seasonings - on high for about 2.5 hours and then low 

until we were ready to eat. It was moist and delicious.

Also made some mashed potatoes, gravy (with the stock)

broccoli and green salad. It was tasty.

Today Kyle and I need to head into Hays for some

stuff he needs for his house.

And then I'm teaching this evening.

The weather is supposed to start warming up again

tomorrow, so today is the COLDEST so far and

should be back into the 40's soon.

Can't wait to watch the inauguration!
