Record cold for Oct 10th

The temperature got down to 4 degrees last night.  Judith Basin County recorded a low of -16 F., so we were warm compared to them. 

The hoses were put away before the cold hit, the snow shovel is now out and last year's ice melt is ready to be chipped (!!!).   Got the old dog a coat this year.   Had a heck of a time trying to catch him to put it on....he must not like red.   Since he didn't get his coat on, I took him inside that night and wouldn't let him out in the morning til he put it on.  He seemed quite happy with it after he got it on. 




Now, when it is single digits, both dogs get to come in at night.  I am concerned about them going out into the cold in the morning when they have been in a warm house.   We will have to see if there is another way we can perhaps just heat up their dog houses a little.



This cold weather is perfect for "chili time."   It is simmering as we speak.  Looking forward to the warm temps coming back.  Soon, I hope.
