Can you say cold

Wow have we hit a cold spot. Sort of blows global warming out of the water when it is -4 degrees doesn't it. That was the lowest we saw the thermometer go last night. Then add to it a 20 mile an hour wind and you are COLD! Chores, which at our place aren't a lot, involved a very chilly walk to the barn. In this kind of weather, it seems like everything you do takes so much longer to get done. Might have something to do with all the layers of clothing you put on to ward off the wind.

Do to the blowing and drifting snow, we didn't have church services yesterday. When your church is on the corner of two dirt roads in the middle of no where, that is a definite problem. We hope to perform our programs next week. It does extend Christmas just a little bit longer.

Staying home gave me time to inventory where I was on Christmas presents. I finally finished setting out my Christmas village. The whole house is done now. I also spent some time in my cookbooks, picking out recipes for the week of celebrating.

This morning is still cold and there is a bit of snow in the air. It seems we have more weather coming, including snow, sleet and freezing rain in the next two days. Could be an interesting Christmas Eve.
