4* this morning. Above, not below. The weather guy just announced that we will be in for about 8" of snow tomorrow and then we are going to head to the sub zero temperature range. Such a thrill. not At least snow first helps protect the pipes. This means continued carrying of hot water to the barn for her highness, Whisper. She has to get mighty thirsty to drink cold out of her pail but relishes her bucket of straight hot. Even allowing for the cool down between the house and the barn, it is still pretty hot water. The good thing is , she drinks.
The horse community lost an auctioneer and his son Friday night. They brought horses to an auction in PA and went to a hotel. They were at the barn. A young male came in to shoot a girl. Apparently the Auctioneer and his son tried to protect her. They were unsuccessful. All three lost their lives. The shooter then left, broke into a house, killed an 85 year old man there and then turned the gun on himself. He may have , in his mind, solved his problems but why did he have to take four people with him?UPDATE: The lone female victim of the shooter is in the hospital in serious condition. this is per the news item I read this morning.
Coming back from church the driver's side window put itself half way down. Took it to his son's garage and he diagnosed it as a dead spot in the window motor, but got it up. He put it up and down a couple of times so we could see what to do with it. Hope we don't have to try and just leave it up until spring. I think we are going to get a newer car come spring. Hate the gas mileage but this AWD really is good on winter roads. Even my son who hadn't driven in snow for over a decade had no problems using this car when he was here.
Hoping everyone has a great week.
