Coffee anyone ?

Photos of the pans: (clearly, they weren't that snazzy to start with)

Tell him to get new ones and keep those with the spare.

@Alaskan tell him you want cast iron pizza pans.
Got the snow cleaned up, then it dumped another inch or so.
Have to get groceries today... getting low on milk and bread, lunch fixings. The bread keeps getting moldy...even before it's use date I guess it doesn't appreciate the wood stove. So will only buy one, or store it in the fridge.
Palalapated does, definitely some of them are full of babies. Of course now we have decided to change my birthday trip as this coming weekend the highs will be in the single digits. Not a good time to leave the kids home with their grandpa to take care of things when it's that cold. At the very least I planned litters around our trip, so that's a good thing.

Cold enough here. 30 but we had 6-7 inches of snow over Sat night and Sunday morning. Had a few light snow showers and some very light misty like stuff during the day Sunday. Today it is right at freezing, and cloudy with some wrap around snow from this system. Ought to be gone by tomorrow then some warming. Pretty out there.

The coffee is good! 29F and the sun is shining, but that could change.
Doing laundry and floors, then a ride I hope. I decided I should start doing some wood cleanup on the property as long as everything is pretty accessible. The back portion of our property is thick woods that need thinning. I can't do a lot by hand but am thinking about at least starting a trail network through it all, then we can expand from there.
Sure wish I hadn't fried my big chipper last summer.

@promiseacres , bread freezes well, better than refrigerating, which will dry it out. I keep half a loaf out and freeze the other half since we don't go through it fast.

We go through 50 pounds of flour about once a month... bake fresh bread I think every other day...

That's the difference between bread for two old people(in their prime) and having to feed 5 big boys!

I am also one that does not eat much bread. I find that I will often put a half a loaf or whatever is getting a little "old" into the freezer for bread pudding or stuffing for a chicken. I will get on a sandwich kick, especially in the summer when the tomatoes are coming ripe.... but I often will only keep out a 1/2 loaf and freeze the other half for later use... or use what I want then freeze the rest for future use as something else.

Ok I know it's winter BUT it's freezing out there! 32 with wind chill at mid 20s. For us it's like a deep freeze! Yep, Feb is our coldest month. But the constant 20 mph NW wind is bad -- just goes right thru you. Poor animals stand in barns or on off wind side most of the day....or chase their hay around. Warming by weekend for more rain...really??? We are too wet now. Ok 3 weeks to go to end of Feb!

You can clearly see I would not survive those northern locations with months of snowy winters and temps.

Gonna finish my coffee, get bundled to feed, then go to work! . Enjoy your day!

Busy day with ortho appt, speech and riding lesson. Somehow we'll squeeze in school work. Had to reschedule the ortho from last week due to icy roads. At least we have groceries for a few days... got some waterproof sheets for Richie and Lightning...we'll see tomorrow evening how they appreciate them. Possible rain on Thursday, then on Sunday and Monday highs in single digits...
