647 - cold snap breaks

Day 647 began cool but by mid day it was -2! It was nice to wake up to a nice ground cover of snow, it makes the fields looks so crisp and clean. Since he did not get the gate plowed Sheldon called suggesting I take the truck to avoid cracking the guard under the enclave. I took the truck only to have the 4 high bounce me off the trail and get stuck for a few seconds until I put in 4 low and plowed out.

Work went fast, Martin my boss is moving to Australia at the end of February so he has many things to share. I worked thru lunch and headed to my long awaited massage at quarter to one. It was fantastic even though it was painful. It was the quirky feel the pain to feel better massage.

I stopped to grab groceries since the weather by now was bearable at -3. Once back at the ranch I found Britt in the TV room of course. Today is her last free vacation day, tomorrow is back to school and the start of her second semester. I enjoyed catching up on the blogs I have not followed for the last few weeks. I also continued to search for a dining table and other furniture pieces I can pick up and maybe work on them as a creative outlet.
 yes that is frozen drool
 as he guards the door enjoying -3, OK it did not take long for him to whine to go back in the garage

Sheldon worked late and arrived home at 7 to have supper with Britt and I. It was a most delicious supper, seafood stuffed salmon and rice with a spinach salad. I found a new cranberry dressing recipe that is really delicious. It is fairly sweet but I did only use a tsp of sugar and dried craisins instead of the fresh cranberries.
After the late supper Sheldon started up the skid steer and plowed the gate area and around the island to guide the bus driver in the morning. Kaylin was excited as she worked yesterday,today and Sunday at Sephora and next week she has 5 shifts, some even 6-8 hours. She is even going to cover 2 shifts at the station booking Lexi in to the Kuhn doggy day care. I am very excited for her, it sure gets depressing when jobs take so long to come to fruition. She drove to Edmonton Tuesday to pick up Aaron after his 28ish days in a row work schedule. Although he only has 6 days off they are both happy to have him back. I am going to bet he noticed a huge change in Lexi as I sure did when we got back from St Lucia.
