Quick Update
It is such a good thing that I got my other job! In this pay period I was scheduled for six, twelve hour shifts at WMH and six, twelve hour shifts at HRMC. Of the six scheduled at WHM I was put on call for three! If I didn't have the shifts at HRMC I would be, once again, in deep doo-doo. But, I do have the shifts at HRMC and gratefully will be able to pay my bills on time once again.
The snow fell fast and furious this year. The temperature is in single digits (-2 to 9 degrees) at night and low double digits (11 to 26 degrees) during the day. My water hoses are deep under a layer of snow turned ice and the water troughs are frozen 4 to 6 inches thick each day. I break the ice once a day but it quickly freezes over again. This weekend I hope to get some heaters installed in the water troughs. I also need to get a heat lamp out to the chicken coop. No chickens have frozen yet but they are certainly chilly chickens! I had taken some pictures of the snow and such but Cerra took off with the camera before they got downloaded to the computer. I will have to add some pictures of all our icy goodness later.
I guess my weather isn't as bad as the weather in Nome, although Sasha can't tell us because she is touring Southern California and Mexico right now! We'll check in with her about the weather when she gets back from her travels.
I am missing Dillon and Cerra already. They will be moving to Utah in short order. Watch their web page for details.
Love to all! TTFN :)

Wow. That is really cold for Idaho. I still have a plug in dog bowl and bucket that I've never used. Shall I send them back to you? Maybe they would make nice chicken nests for the winter?
My touring is coming to and end. I'll be departing LAX tomorrow night and will be back in Nome by Monday morning. I'll post a blog when I get home to tell you all about it :)
I can only imagine how much you will miss Dillon and Cerra. Although I'm sure that there will be positives about having your place to yourself again, I'm guessing that those pros don't come close to outweighing the cons of them being gone. I hope you're animals help you to not feel too lonely.
Stay warm. . . Love you. . .
