Here is the moon this morning. We woke up to a chilly 28°F. I got up at 5:30am to take the dogs out and stoke the fire. Typically, I put Mia on a leash and let Jesse go do his business within sight of our pole light. However, after I called for him, a group of coyotes moved through, and they were close. Loud too. I had to yell "treaty" to get him running inside. I will be taking him on a leash now when it's dark. They were across the street somewhere, and the corn is still up there. My hands were literally shaking, they were that close. Coyotes were always an issue when we had kid goats. Thankfully, they are not around our area as much as other areas. This is the second time we've heard them this year.
I only worked outdoors yesterday for about 30 minutes yesterday - too cold. I can't function pulling weeds etc with too many layers on. This week is going to be interesting. Rain is in the forecast, so I'm yanking weeds and dead plants as fast as I can. I'm not sure when I'll be out there today. It'll have to warm up first.
Last night I made breakfast for dinner - homemade sausage in sausage gravy, over homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs and fried potatoes. By the way, I made the eggs first, cooking them almost done. I then put them in a crock pot on low while I cooked everything else. It worked great and freed up my stove top.
