Sunny
Minus 6 degrees



Well, it looks like we're in for another cold spell. The weather radio this morning said periodic wind chills in the 30 to 40 below zero range, but mostly just lingering around 15 to 20 degrees below zero. It makes working outside interesting, and not as fun as it can be when the flowers are blooming.

The chickens are missing the heat the pigs provided in the barn!

I may have found a great older, beat up gas grill that may work just perfect as a cold smoker! Found it on Craigslist for 5 bucks! That's what I'm talkin about! I think I can convert it fairly easily. Karen is going to swing past and look at it or pick it up on her way home from Chicago this afternoon. We'll see! Another little homesteading project that will bring us just a little more self-sufficiency.
