Well, I don't know about you, but this old body doesn't appreciate a change in temperature of this magnitude!!! The weather went from ice to flood in about a week causing undo stress and strain to all who had to be out in it (us) and I can't say it did much for the ones who were stuck inside either. At this point in time the weather man is calling for Sunny and 40 today, snow tomorrow and temps falling next week to only 20s for highs, go figure. Kim and Susan are stuck inside where they are from all the snow throwing darts at one another to stay unbored (my word) but at least that is consistent and isn't such a strain on the system...the weather I mean, not the dart throwing.

Mother Nature is giving us her usual fits at the Unit as well and although we know it is coming it is still difficult to accept as something we can do little to change but we are inching in that direction ever so diligently, although I believe she will win in the end. We have started having our 4-H pigs and I must say they look pretty good at this point in time. The initial litters out of Paint Shop (our boar) are very good looking little boogers and me thinks me smell a few Champions in the mix!! The Duroc gilts are due next week and everything Lori and I have are crossed for luck in anticipation of some most excellent replacement gilts as well as a few Champion barrows (that's unbored for you city folk) for the fairs.

It is time to make an attempt to get all the Christmas lights down before the snow so I will take my leave of you, (I like that, got it from Spock's dad in "The Journey Home") everyone is home playing except Steve, it is his weekend, and all is well on the farm once again..........
