Morning,
DH, who, knows alot about weather, says we will get alot of precipitation. Before the big ice storm and that Christmas Eve's snow it was very warm like it was Friday and yesterday - lots of moisture building up.
I look forward to it because I usually get some rare time to be creative. Also, we REALLY need some moisture. The fire danger is terrible now. Since our house nearly burned in the Easter fires in Mid West City acouple of years ago, I am very nervous about how dry it is.

hi MJ, looking at the map- reminds me of the ice storm that hit muskogee a few years back, we didn't have power for 8 days- thats when we decided to get selfsufficient! so now we got the woodstove, a generator and extra feed- our road is on a hill, so won't be any travel till it thaws- i'm with sooner- this is the first time in 4 years i have a stove, so i am cooking goodies!

Morning, everyone - We had a coyote chorus on and off all night. Twice it was so loud that DH went out and carried the shotgun because he figured he'd run into about twenty or thirty coyotes on the front porch. I've never heard them so loud before, and some many... Most of the noise came from the corner of the pasture where the cattle like to congregate and sleep. Yesterday DH fired a round and one that was headed up hill, in the front pasture. DH said the coyote ran from hay bail to hay bail. It was like a military assault. We may have to get some enormous live traps soon.

In the 07 ice storm here, we didn't have power for 9 days. It was fun at first. DH had to go to work and called home to tell me to go to the store to get ice to put on the meat in the freezer. I couldn't get the garage door open, no power, and I refused to buy ice in an ice storm anyway. I went all around the house knocking ice cickles into a bucket. I put the ice cickles on the meat and other frozen foods.

Carah : I thought that I saw a bunch of you Gal's crowed into that small KOA kitchen elbowing each other trying to get close enough to see Donna making those great dumplings for her POOPS dish. Laura asked me just last night to try and get her recipe. They were the best ones I ever had, I think she may be holding the recipe hostage for a ransom LOL.
