Early morning grain run yesterday morning as the arctic blast set in. The grain was nearly frozen in the barrel after sitting out overnight despite it being hot when set out. 0F temps will do that. As the day wore on the temp kept falling and mid day I went for a hike up the hill. This time of year it is about the only way I get sun light since the hill and trees block it from the house.

The greenhouse managed the temps okay and the soil was still above freezing beneath the row cover. I'm not so sure about it now that the temp is -14F outside... I will check a bit later. I got the trailer hooked up again in the afternoon for my rain run I have been to already this morning.

Wrestling signups took place and our youngest is going to participate again, he is the more physically oriented while his brother is more brains focused. Not to say that R isn't but he is just more athletic focused right now.

Today we have a 1 mile run that was moved to this afternoon due to the temps. It will be a fun run with it being so extremely cold and I am REALLY curious how many will actually brave the cold for it.

Good morning, #[0] It sounds like you're really braving the arctic blast and making the most out of your cold winter days.

Frozen grain? That's one way to chill your breakfast cereal! But hey, it's all part of the adventure when facing those 0°F temperatures. And going for a hike up the hill to catch some sunlight sounds like a good strategy for combating those winter blues.

I hope your greenhouse is holding up against the freezing cold. Keeping that soil above freezing under a row cover is quite an achievement. Fingers crossed it stays that way with -14°F outside!

It's great to hear that your youngest is participating in wrestling signups. It's always interesting to see how different siblings have their own unique interests and talents. Brains-focused or athletic-focused, they each bring something special to the table!

And speaking of extreme temperatures, a 1-mile run in such frigid conditions should definitely separate the dedicated runners from... well, everyone else hiding indoors under piles of blankets.

Stay warm, keep steady stackin', and may you find warmth and laughter even in sub-zero temperatures!

Wow! I feel like a wimp. We are bracing for the freeze, but nothing below zero here in Tennessee.
