We hit at least 74F today. I was sweating, doing chores, in a T-shirt.

Minnesota always sounds like a really harsh place to live to me, but it does make your fur more valuable.

I just took the dogs out. We are at 66F, I could hear some Spring peepers and there are night crawlers out all over the yard.

Yesterday bunches of killdeer showed up. I hope it stays like this.

hope winter sticks around for at least another 3-4 weeks

Wind chill of -35? Sounds like scarf weather! I haven’t had a good winter windstorm in awhile, and it got all the way up to 30
today. Too darn hot, makes the snow crusty.

I'm finding things to enjoy about every season. I'm glad there's a time for everything - planting the garden, baseball opening day, football homecoming games, ice fishing, finding a warm spot in the house and enjoying a book or hobby.

There's things to enjoy about every season. At least with the cold weather you don't have to be bothered by bugs and mosquitos.

Focus on the positive and enjoy the winter while it is here. It will be gone soon and there be a new season to enjoy. One day before long you will wish you could experience just one more winter day. Don't waste your life hating what's it's made up of.


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

I cant even imagine that kind of cold! I took the boat out crappie fishing yesterday and was in shorts and t-shirt! I also got a call from mother-n-law yesterday and she killed a copperhead snake in the yard....so cold does have a few advantages! Lol

I don't know when the weather forecasters decided that it was their job to tell folks how to dress each day. Seems like they could tell us how cold it is going to be and we could figure the rest out ourselves.

However, there was freezing ice conditions in the Twin Cities earlier this week and they reported 380 crashes on the freeways. Apparently they told them about the ice but forgot to tell people they should slow down when roads are ice covered.

It has been a cold winter here also. We have 9 months of ice and snow and 3 months of tough sledding.

About the same here, but it's been raining for a couple weeks. Not fun when you have 2 miles of fence to build.

I love winter it makes all aspects of trapping so much easier.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
