This morning we were greeted by 3 wolves. I got some pics (with my phone) and a small video of them. They are about 200 yards from our house so, needless to say, the hound doggies had a conniption fit!
I couldn't get them all in a picture but there were 3 all together. So, for the time being the doggies will be quarantined to the pen only. It's breeding season for the wolves so maybe for the next month or so the doggies will need to stay closer to the house.
I'm not sure what happens when it gets cold but it puts me into hyperspastic cooking mode. I wish it put me more into hyperspastic cleaning mode. Not super helpful with the new eating plan but it will pass.
Biscuits are just 2 cups self rising flour, 1/2 stick butter (cold), and some milk or buttermilk - enough to make the dough.
The bread is a good recipe but I can't link it, I can't find the link anymore. Blogger won't let me upload a pdf file either but it's basically a white bread recipe and then I used lard to oil the pans, generously. It is soft and super good! I made (but forgot to take a picture) Salisbury steak to go with it and green beans. I didn't have a recipe for Salisbury steak, just added what I thought would work.
I bake with recipes but I rarely cook with them. I can remember asking my Mom how to make certain things like how much of this or that to add and her response was, "Until it looks right." - Really? Well, now I'm doing the same thing so I guess it has come full circle.
Here's the thermometer at our place on Saturday morning - Sheesh!
That's air temp - a bit colder with windchill.

It's OUTTA here!
The excess furniture is gone!
We actually have space we haven't seen in months. We just have to keep up the momentum on the quest to reclaim our space!
It was just plain brutal outside today. We had a NW wind of 17 mph so the windchill was almost 30 degrees below the donut. We are just hanging on to the promise of 20's for next week. We are in dire need of a reprieve from this frigid weather. Just walking across the yard to fill up the boiler is hard to bear. Cooper is beating me back to the house, normally he would be off sniffing out critters.

Sun dog this morning
Sometimes the little things just make things a little better. Seeing this sun dog on my way to the car was it for me today...
