Tuesday morning... down to 15 last night. Sun is out, everything is glittering with the ice on everything. We had 5 or so inches of snow, then a 1/2 inch of ice... Then we had some flurries last night... maybe an inch if that, to cover. It is up to 30 in the sun, but there is wind so not very warm. I am going out to clean off the cars, so I can go out if needed. Get them started up and running.

DS said that he would need me to go down and plug in the tractor later on, he is taking Sue (wife) back over to the hospital where Nelson is, an hour away... and said he would do some more feeding later. It costs a small fortune to leave the tractor plugged in all the time, and plugging it in about 1-2 hours before wanting to use it is more than sufficient to get the block warmed up, so the diesel will start and run.

Did not get the bread pudding made yesterday, but it will be going in the oven in about 15 minutes. Then I will go out for an hour or less, to clean off cars, and be ready to come in and take it out and warm up.
Then the chicken goes in the oven. It is about thawed now. Dishes done in sink, will take a little water out to the NH cockerel and get him situated for the day. He is in the sun so will be comfortable in the covered area.
