Folks its getting colder by the minute outside. Me and two of the boys ran up to the Farmers Feed and Seed and bought a load of firewood this morning. Based on what the weatherman is saying, we could be in for a real mess tomorrow afternoon into Monday morning. Ice and sleet wreck havoc on powerlines and our house is all electric, so a little voice told me I needed to have something to keep us warm, just in case. Good thing I got there when I did though, because they were down to only a couple of half racks left! Around these parts, when anyone mentions even a remote possibility of snow, there is a mad run on grocery stores for bread and milk. Even folks who are lactose intolerant buy milk! Go figure. Anyway, I feel somewhat relieved that if the power goes off, at least I have warmth and I guess push come to shove I could figure out how to roast a hot dog. That reminds me, we need hotdogs.
One of the boys is playing Upward basketball at a church down the road and he has his first game today at noon. He is so excited and I can't wait to see him play. After that me and the gang are going to go shopping for a birthday present for their Mom. Then when I get back home, my plans are to put some donkey poo on the garden spots and maybe run a plow through it.
Oh and good news! After months of planning and working, the donkeys were released into the larger pasture this morning! They are acting like kids in a candy store. I'll try to get some pictures posted later if I can squeeze it in. Right now though I gotta get moving to a basketball game!
