The Coldest Day of the Year

Yesterday. At least 10 degrees below zero. It was calling for 20 below and at one place not too far away, we know it was -15. Both woodstoves were roaring.

 This thermometer is set inside against the glass.

The girls' room is the coldest in the house so we were allowed to camp out in the living room.

 

 We tried a new hot chocolate recipe from Bulk Herb Store's weekly news letter that got a thumbs up.

 

 

Happy winter!

Two Videos

My siblings have been busy. They made this when Papa and Mom were out. I wasn't home either so we all had to sit and watch it and the mess ups as soon as I finished milking. They really did do a good job. Mom has done this as a one person skit for us several times with the paper bow.

 

The second video is a link. It happens to be my favorite music video on youtube, at least for now, mostly because the girl who sings it is named Amy Joy just like me.

 

What Happy Is
