December 15th @ 15º F

Last night was our coldest night for the Winter of '08. Got a call last evening that our Milton-Freewater school system would be running on a three hour delay, due to winter weather.

This morning at first light the outside thermometers on the house read 15º, an almost perfect temperature for the horse herd to enjoy their breakfast. At the 7:30 morning feeding the barn thermometer was also reading 15º, and everyone was quite happy to be getting their bellies filled.

It is now time for the 1:00 p.m. feeding and our temperature is standing at 25º.
