Too bad that happened. Did the kids manage to have a good time anyway?

I think so. Us adults were disappointed. We were getting into the minions.

It rained hard over night but it looks like we did ok with this storm!

I'm always trying to get a good picture of this blue heron. These are the best so far.
He has been here for years. He had a mate but I found her dead a couple of years ago.

They remind me of Pterodactyls when flying.

That's what I think. They are beautiful but gangly birds.

I’m so glad it’s over!! We got the kids to the movie and about 20 minutes into it, the power went out. We had to leave.

Well that's sad. Poor kids.

Well, then, poor adults!

We ended up getting 3", which we did not need.

I love Blue Herons. Nice he is visiting you often! I'm impressed you can tell the male from the female. Bummer you found his mate. Cool pics, Janie, thanks for sharing those.

Evening, everyone! I might not get to many chances to say good morning, except for on our days off.

It's been a good couple of days. We stayed in the camper on the way here in Laurel, MT and it was -15. I thought the heater would work without being plugged in, but it never came on. It works now that we're plugged in, thankfully. Much warmer last night.

Our slide out in the camper was frozen, too, so I kind of messed up the camper siding trying to open it, oops.

I hung up my shearing motor today, and that didn't work, so that's a big bummer. But besides breaking things, all is well!

Our shearing contractor has a nice chicken coop here.

I hope everyone is doing well!

I was just complaining (to the chickens) that its 36. Last week, this time of day, it was in the 80s.
They can't stay out alone because we have hawks nesting here. I just let them out if their runs for two hours a day while I'm watering and cleaning.

That swing in temp is crazy!
