It's a heat wave

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)


The Hound's snout took a whiff outside Saturday morning and, Lordy! --- it was a heat wave in the back 40. A whole 13 degrees above zero! Oh happy day!

The barn thermometer was above zero for the first time in about two days and it felt good, real good. Now, some doubters will say they can't tell the difference between 10 below zero and 13 above zero. The Hound can and 13 above is always preferable.

One problem with these balmy temperatures: Snow in the forecast.

Ah, but snow is a warm consolation after putting up with near -20 temps and double the windchills the past week. To welcome this heat wave, The Hound is serving pina coladas in front of the fire. Oh, happy day!
