minus 10 this morn.
gary o opened the door to the cabin.it was like he was walking into a freezer.
its bath day.cut hair and beard.get a bath in front of the good ole woodstove.
making pancakes this morning.
getting to the outhouse takes a bit of building up to do.even insulation wrapped on the ole seat...u still have to brace yourself for the coldness.
its beautiful outside though.
today i am doing chores and then some last minute knitting for someone special.
gary o runs around outside with an open shirt and shorts.lol.he said today he might be switching over to long pants.lol.so funny.
happy days here.

I always wear my shorts well into fall and early winter in the hopes it will extend the warm weather. It worked last year- we had warm weather in early December. But usually I relent by about 35F.

It's crazy how much colder you get than we do. Still, I see mostly kids wearing shorts in this weather and scratch my head. But Gary is a kid at heart so it works!

Merry Christmas to you and Cabingal!! Your place looks so snug and warm! But....next year I expect to see you put a little more effort into your wood pile. Something like these examples below.

Well that hairy chest of his provides substantial insulation, I'm sure.

Did I just cross over the line again?

Wow, it blows my mind how much more snow you get than I do! How much colder it is there, too! You are two brave and hearty souls! I would've turned tail and fled by now, hahahaha. Unless I was all built and on-grid!

Maybe I should stop shaving my legs, in hopes of insulation, lol.

i was suppose to bring two pies.a dutch apple and a pumpkin pie.as i was mixing the ingredients for the pie crust it was freezing in the pan.lol.
i finally opened a can with the can opener.next year i am getting a ax to open frozen cans.
so i go outside with my pies.try to turn on my bbq grill.the knobs are frozen.so i run get water to pour on the knobs.they un hinge and i can cook.
we made it to xmas.they declared the pies good.
we had alot of fun on xmas evening cause of this sweet litttle off grid family.
they got me a manual food chopper.they have one and they say it works really good.
i put our turkey by the bottom of the door in the bedroom.it froze.
we have places for food everywhere.
in our fridge the milk froze and the eggs froze.
