We gave the boys the warning that they weren't to touch the dogs' hooks for their chains without wearing gloves. I'm hoping that we didn't give Connor any ideas. Meanwhile the trees near the river and along heavily traveled roads were coated in a beautiful white frost from the moisture in the air.
I will admit that the cold makes me rather envious of people's remote engine starters. However, it does make me tremendously grateful that we have a heated garage, and that isn't completely full from storage. I believe that our vehicles are also happier not having to start in such amazingly cold temperatures.
I'm hoping that the cold weather continues to hold. Sure, I wouldn't mind if it got a little warmer so the boys could play outside more, but I'd rather have the cold than have everything melt and refreeze like it did around this time last year. I prefer seeing the snow even if I don't quite feel like playing in it.
