Firewood and Puppies...

The cold snap continues - we didn't get out of the single digits today and we were running out of firewood.  Unfortunately, it was so cold that the diesel truck wouldn't start.  We tried jumping it, charging the battery, swearing at it, kicking it...  She just wouldn't roar to life.  It is probably time for some new batteries for the old girl, but we'll see what happens when the weather turns warmer.

So we ended up taking the little baby truck to pick up some wood from our good friends Mel and Roberta.  They have horses, Texas Longhorn Cattle, and just recently got two new Chihuahua puppies...  Truth be told, I think that I was more excited about going to visit the puppies than anything else.

Mel and Roberta are fun to visit, they fill the table with snacks and we talk and eat (two of my favorite pastimes).  Mel and I usually partake in the latest cocktail he has come up with.  It is definately a good way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon.

All of that fun and we still remembered to pick up the firewood...

There were a few things we had planned to do this weekend that got pushed back because it was just TOO cold out.  Tomorrow is another day.

Stay Warm!
