Tomorrow is March, so we’ll see how well that little axiom stands up. It does look like we’re going to dip back down to to -13° this weekend though, so I’d say it’s pretty on the nose so far.

Unfortunately for the chickens, the power cord that connects the garage outlet to the coop heater was unplugged in the midst of one of the snowstorms. (The guys who plow our driveway know to unplug/move it before driving over the cord and ripping out the socket) And so it’s buried…somewhere around here:

Guess we’ll find it in April. In the interim, though, the poor girls won’t have any heat. Good news there is it’s only a couple of days, then it will be back to the 30’s. Still, I’m sure they won’t be happy about that.

In other snow-related news, Daphne got a chance to sled for a little while this afternoon. Despite the blue sky and sun, it was deceptively cold out, though (I think the wind chill was 9°) so we didn’t stay out too long. We did manage to get a little video today though.

Good times.

As you might imagine, blanket time on the couch was the order of the evening after being outside in the chill… And so we lounged around and read one of Daph’s new favorite books:

She’s doing a fantastic job with her talker in reading along with me… Honestly we weren’t even aware that she knew a lot of these words…

Impressive.

Okay, that’s it for today.

See you Monday.
