what crazy weather we are experiencing.  three days off of school already due to extreme cold, and two more likely next week. only one other time in recorded history have we had temps this consistently low. but suddenly, today  we warmed up to 32F/0C for one glorious afternoon. warm enough to get outside for a long walk with the dog. warm enough to let the chickens outside most of the day. tomorrow, it’s back into the deep freeze.
