BRRRRRRR

The temperatures here at Prairie House haven't been above freezing since December 27.  We have had night time lows in the negative numbers.


All of the creatures are doing okay.  However, like me, I think they would be much happier with a warm breeze and maybe even a palm tree swaying.


When Evelyne was her in the middle of the month she brought a cardboard box from a new dishwasher a friend had purchased.  She put it in the barn under a shelf.  The creatures all ignored it.  During the coldest of the cold weather, most of them built nests in the deep straw bedding to keep warm.  Not Ginger, however.  She figured out that if she got into the cardboard box it was nice and toasty.  When I put my hand in to pet her, I could feel the warmth through my gloves.  No wonder she is the Queen.  One smart girl, that one is.
