Last Sunday, temperatures climbed above -30 after nearly three weeks. (!!) Now it looks like warmer weather is holding, and we get to thaw out our butts for real. It had been a long time since we'd had a cold snap that long and that intense. Check it out:
I used quite a bit of leave time to stay home, keep the fire going, and manage dog walks. Queen Thistle still wanted to go for walks in these temps, but I wanted to keep an eye on her arthritic shoulder. Princess Cricket only wanted to run outside, poop, and dash back home. Ravey Gravy wanted to walk same as usual, but I cut her off to two miles. Look how frosty I get after just two miles in -40!
Raven has no problem! Her coat is astonishing. I'm really surprised she's only 30% an Arctic breed. Her coat is as thick as any pure husky's.
The middle-aged ladies, however, were content to remain behind after a quick poop-n-dash walk:
Since for three solid weeks, all I'd have to report would be "Butt cold today! Butt cold today, too! Another day of butt cold!", I will share instead food photos! It is amazing how rich our diets get when it's butt cold. Soooo without further ado... GRILLED CHEESE!

That was a beautiful pizza - it must have taken a LONG time to create. If it tasted as good as it looks, you had a wonderful meal!

Awesome looking eats as always:) Glad to see you back on the blog and that the fuzzies and humans are all well. Stay warm and dry:) As for us more rain is coming- took advantage of a dry weekend to clean up the fallout from the pineapple express! Pups & humans are all safe:)
You are skilled enough to open a fusion restaurant here. Please add more greens, even if frozen ones -- peas, corns, carrots
Please always wear sunglasses outside..
@Lar: Thank you! Not a long time of actual work, but about a total of 2 hours of patience waiting...
@e: Thank you! Hope you all continue to be well!
@mdr: I don't photograph vegetables because they look grey and sad in photos. Did you know that most food photos are not even food? They are plastic and stuff like that, just for styling. But we eat lots of veggies, no worries!
