Four Degrees This Side of Midnight

When you are driving home at 4pm on a gorgeous sunny day and see thick steam blanketing the nearly frozen river and that the temperature reads 4 degrees, it really makes you wonder how cold it will drop by the time midnight hits.

When you arrive home, and the outside of the house is creaking from the cold, and the wood furnace has very little in the way of glowing embers, and the dogs who made a dash for an outdoor romp stop dead in their tracks after two minutes, alternating frozen paws in the arctic snow, it really makes you wonder how cold it will be by midnight.

When you breathe in the crisp air and feel shards of moisture depraived oxygen molecules scouring your lungs, it makes you wonder just how cold it will be by midnight!

This winter started October 31st in an early morning deposit of our first sticking snow and never let up until we all had received the memo that winter was here to stay with all its resplendent wonder. It has been gorgeous.


Being entertained by three noble beasts has been quite a treasure!
