Welcome February!!!

Last night our "high" was -16 and schools all around are closed.

Don't let the blue skies fool you.
It's a lie!

The best part about February 1st?????
January is over!

    no matter what I say right now you'll never believe I sympathize enough.

    so I'm going to walk outside into my garage in bare feet... to show you that I feel your pain.

    and then I'll run back in and turn on my heat dish and wrap in my cozy... to show that I have a brain.

    Amen is right! HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE THE...well, maybe that's a little blasphemous. And even though our temp right now is 10~on account of it's almost noon, you know~I will take it, because it comes on the wings of blue sky instead of inversion. A sight for sore eyes.

    It must be cold up there. Our high tomorrow is supposed to be 48--about 25* below average. I can't imagine what that will do to you guys!

    Hope you find some fun things to do inside because it doesn't seem like you'll want to be staying outside any time soon! Great photo of the icicles. I'm very ready for spring (the little tiny bit that ever visits Utah).

    Man those icicles look like something right out of TyranisaurausRex. or however the hell you spell it.
    Some big dinosaur dude anyway.

    Rexburg is always stinking cold...I think it is just a misplaced extension of Alberta.

    Bring on the HEAT.............Puleeeez

    I am so GLAD I do not live in Idaho anymore...we are basking in the warmth of 10 degrees tonight!
    You made me laugh! AGAIN... As always and the tune of a 'It's a small world after all' come blaring in my head. I am happy to claim 'Hide Away Girl' as my precious gift amongst her brothers.
    Good luck making your ♥ quilt.
    Also I enjoyed catching up with your beautiful family and wedgies(your kids are so much like ours, HEAVEN HELP US:} I just wanted a caboose even if she destroys violins so Hideaway Girl would have a sister. Little did I realize the three amazing sisters she would get when those yahoos married. :D

    It's been very cold here too. I think right now we are at -27 below. We don't get days off though. I'm really glad January is over because it is that much closer to spring and warmer weather. Stay Warm!
