Yes, things can freeze in the garage. Since no more dog kennel, we don't have heat vents blowing into the garage. Used to get it up to 50F near the vents,

I put things in the laundry, furnace area - stays pretty warm there. Things won't freeze in there but, still keep watch on the laundry tubs to make sure the water doesn't freeze up.They back up to crawl space with just a little drywall between them.

Remember holding a light Ma was under the farmhouse in Wisconsin trying to thaw the pipes right after that we moved here

I don't mind the snow much as long as we don't get the blowing & drifting CARP.

I well remember the Blizzard of '67 but, have lived through some more.

Morning Old Folks! Cannot wait to see pictures of the Grand Canyon. I am jonesing to go out west again. I need to start planning the trip for next year. Haven't completely set my mind on where and when yet. I keep seeing pictures of places I've gone and want to go back. Then I see pictures of places I haven't been and then I want to go there. So many places! LOL
This weekend is going to be busy. I am starting to make all my Christmas gifts. This year I have decided to make most of them to save a little (read that as probably spend more on the materials but enjoy the end product more ;-) ) I plan on doing some paintings and just downloaded a pattern for a an adorable gnome figure for a gal I hike with who loves gnomes. We are also getting all of our food shopping done for Thanksgiving and I have a hike planned for tomorrow (with the gnome gal).
What does everyone else have planned?

Very smallll family here... Mom Me and My son. I am preparing to move after the first of the year... Probably February or March.

Thanksgiving will be a half a turkey and fixins. Christmas will be the same. We all are done with gift giving so I havent a clue on what to do except give home Canned things to mom. Son ... I may offer to do some Concert tickets. Hes very into heavy metal music... Which surprisingly I like.

When I get back home I plan to take lots of pictures. The view South is of a stretch of BLM land and Mexico. The view north Is piles and piles of boulders that go for about Sixty miles. West boulders eventually rising to What used to be a Forest of ancient Juniper trees. Fire wiped them out in the 1940's.

This is not my picture but a picture smilar to my land.

I should note for the cold challenged that not everything freezes, gasoline does not, have to add stuff to the diesel so it doesn't gel.

Nope, it was getting dark as we checked in, haven't seen the deep hole in the ground I'm told is very near here 18 degrees at 7AM. We are limited to what we can do since my nieces dog can only go on the paved paths.

Yes! Heat!
