Cold

We had about 5 inches of snow fall last Tuesday at our house. By Thursday there wasn't much on the roads to speak of, but they where having problems supplying enough natural gas, so they cut the supply off to the air force base, which ment we got to go home at 12:00. With -20 windchill it didn't take long for the older buildings to start cooling off quickly. Work was also cancelled on Friday, but it was my scheduled Friday off.

Bailey is quite the snow dog, but the negative windchill was too much for these pups to really enjoy playing in the snow. This is looking out our living room window into the backyard while the snow was falling

My orchids are blooming again. I only have two, and they are thriving in my kitchen window. This is the first bud to open on one of them. This one has been growing like a weed and has 12 buds on it. My white one will probably open in a week or so. It got sick shortly after moving into the house, so I'm suprised it is doing anything, but I will have 4 flowers on it.
