Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.

Frozen Trail

I started the morning by baking the sourdough loaf that proofed in the refrigerator overnight.

 

The cold temperatures helped to firm up the muddy area trails.  Gibraltar Rock Natural Area was a good candidate for today's hike.  All of those muddy footprints were frozen in place when I arrived.  I didn't see anyone or any dogs on the hike.  

Callie enjoys the solitude too.



I was going to split wood this afternoon, but I decided to move wood instead to make room for the wood that would "eventually" get split.  


The pallet of wood behind the wheelbarrow has to come out to start the new row.  The row of gray wood to the right also needs to go into the pole shed for final seasoning.  That was my project for this afternoon.  I finished about half.  I'm not sure how much more I will get done this week.  Tomorrow, I'm hiking with the Madison Meetup hiking group, and then we have a few days of rain/snow again.
