The temperatures have been close to -30 or colder off and on since the week of Christmas break. We are thankful for the Lord's leading us to cut back on our farming ambitions, which means far less time needed to feed the remaining animals. The chickens faired quite well and still laid a decent amount of eggs. So thankful for Elyssia and Garrison taking care of those outside chores and allowing the rest of us to stay warm inside! We are also thankful that Scott has had inside work for most of those really cold days. We have been enjoying his schedule for the new year, which includes him taking the days off on Monday. Saturday and Sunday are usually full of preparation and delivery of sermons, making visits, etc... To see him get the opportunity to slow down a bit and have extra time to spend with the kids is a blessing!
We don't want to forget our family and friends that still have to be outside and the livestock who have no choice about staying inside to escape the cold. Thankful that it looks like things are going to be warmer for awhile and thankful for the faithfulness of those who go out to take care of their animals every... single... day.
