First Cold Snap

It's been nasty cold. My brain has frozen. I'm questioning my sanity to live in a place like this, and do what I do. And I grew up here! Worst part is, it's only going to get worse. Sometime this winter, it will be -55F and I will still have to get up and milk goats. I will just keep telling myself that I am tough.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Today the sun rose at 10:58 am and set at 2:30 pm. There was six hours and thirty-two minutes of visible light. Tomorrow will be nine seconds longer. Not a lot, but an improvement.
It's been negative twenty below or colder for most of December. The holidays make the lack of light and cold easier. The goats and I have been stuck inside most of the time. I feel so blah. I can't seem to get anything done. The cold and dark seem to seep inside my head and I can't think straight. I'd prefer to hibernate most of the time.

TTFN!
