This weekend marks the return of Superstorm “Pickles,” he is criss-crossing the Northern States to drop seven different storms at different times on different places. He is also bringing what the Weather Channel calls perhaps the coldest weather in world history for late February for people like us, living where we live. Puzzling, since they are calling for – 11 temperatures, but we have often had – 30 up here, not pleasant, but not exactly a catastrophe either.  I am prepared, I got some Hot Chocolate (more cheese puffs) and will maybe put some booties on Red tomorrow.

In the meantime, Red dug an amazing tunnel all the way around the pasture and up to the Pole Barn, where he can give the sheep a good stare-down. I think he might put up an igloo in his spare time.
