Woke up to minus 4 this morning. Went out and took care of my chickies-all is well.:-)
Hope everyone else is the same.
I had to go back in the house to warm up a bit then I did the sheep and goats. I know what you mean Christy, my sheep keep eyeballing the door when I'm coming and going! But they have plenty of space inside so in they are staying! I know they can handle the cold but they haven't quite grasped bedtime yet so we've had to herd them up in the evening and drive them into the barn. I 'm not into running on icy snow in 5 degree weather to chase the sheep!!

Jylgaskin, Newport is beautiful however I have an unnatural fear of bridges soooo I don't go over there unless I have to! Just the sight of the Jamestown and Newport bridge signs make make knees knock.

Everyone has their woodstoves going this morning. I took this pic from my office window:
You can see all the smoke from the chimneys.
