The Thaw


Okay, first of all we lived in the deep freeze.

I know that to many a week or ten days of weather with temps under freezing is not a big deal but in Oklahoma it is. Add to that the 4-6 inches of sleet that is still on the ground 12 days after it fell and we truly feel as if someone moved the Arctic Circle several thousand miles south.

Now we are in midst of the Big Thaw! It has been in the 40's for the last two days and may even reach 50 by Friday! As you can see from the picture I posted of our driveway, we are now leaving in a mud hole, although the wheat pasture is still an almost solid sheet of ice. *Sigh* How long till spring???
