Ahhhhhhhhhhh the cold ..........
12/15/05 6:00 A.M.,
03 F, Clear, W wind 9 mph, -13 F wind chill.
Good morning,
Good day for chili - since it is outside. Think we will settle for split pea soup instead. I have not stuck my nose outside yet today, but know what is there. Expect the temperature to drop a couple more degrees before daylight is here. Should be a cool all day. Would have been better if the cold had come before the snow. Dropped a front wheel into the mud when I turned around in the yard yesterday after church. Didn't expect that.
We got a late start yesterday, so ended up going to the late service. Very light attendance, only 50 folks there. I filled in as an usher, so ended up counting heads too. Actually the church was a very busy place yesterday between services. The kids were getting ready for their Christmas service and a couple of committee meetings, besides the normal activity. Seemed like every room was busy, including the pastor's office and the church office were pressed into service.
The pea soup simmered on the woodstove for a good portion of the day. It sure smelled good, especially when I spilled a bit on the stove top. At least it smelled good for a while, then not so good. Have big plans to make it disappear for supper.
Spent a good portion of the day yesterday making Christmas things to send out. Not too sure why I decided to do these, as it take some really detail work (for me) and I can only stay with it for a few minutes at a time. Rather frustrating. We hope to get the packages to the Netherlands in the mail today. Will need to start earlier in the year next year. It is kind of fun though.
Our resident fox is getting more and more brazen. I see his tracks right at the end of the ramp and traveling just a couple of feet from the house. That is some unusual, but this isn't a really wild area. I also see more rabbit tracks than ever before too. Almost sounds like I should start a trap line. Wonder what the pelt value is now. Used to know.
I talked to Howard yesterday about the family I brought to the Harvest Dinner. He will contact the County and see if there are needs there we can help with. He has spent a busy couple of weeks, so really doesn't need another thing to do, but this has to go through him. We have had a lot of folks in the hospital with surgeries and several deaths to take care of. Of course Christmas has it's own set of needs too. He will not ask for help either.
Well guess I had better get busy and the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
