Ready For The Winter

This is what we do in the South preparing for the hard winter (smile). Temperature is dropping today, so we might have a cold winter and with all these wood . . . we are ready for the winter.

I know our hard winter is nothing like the winter in Minnesota or Canada, but it’s cold enough for us.

The Day After

It all started when the groundhog, Phil saw his shadow couple of weeks ago and predicted that winter will be six more weeks . . . Just like the rest of 50 other States, Alabama also got some snow yesterday which pretty much paralyzed the whole state.

I saw a headline, “it took 30 inches of snow to paralyzed the Nation’s Capitol, it only took 1 inch in Alabama”

Nevertheless, it’s beautiful, like in New England!

Can We Have The Global Warming Now?

When you don’t have anything else to say in the blog and you feel like blogging, you can always talk about the weather, and how cold it’s been lately.

Today the low was at minus 9⁰Celsius, and when you talk about minus 9⁰Celsius,  it’s okay if you live in Canada, Michigan, Iowa, or maybe Alaska. But we are in Alabama, where winter for us used to be 7⁰ to 10⁰ Celsius. I think we’ve been spoiled with the warm weather in Alabama, we used to be able to tolerate the cold a little bit better than this.

So, Mr. Al Gore, can we please have the global warming now?

I mean it must be really cold when headline like this made it to Drudge Report, “Alabama off to coldest start since 1940”

Despite the below freezing temperatures, our chickens are surviving and still laying three eggs a day. No Frozen chickens yet thanks be to God!
