still winter here...

Well, another bitterly cold day on the prairies, so i guess it's still winter. Wind chills were up around -45C this morning, and although the actual temperature has got better thoughout the day (-36C this AM, and as of 10Pm this evening, -19C) the wind has also got up, so the windchill is still in the high -30C's... the joys af Manitoba i guess.We're still feeding cattle out on the land, calving is still a few weeks away (hope it warms up by then), but the cows weren't too interested in coming out of the shelter of the bush and i can't say i blame them..

welcome...

Well, after many months (somehow it seems like years) of cajolling by my young lady friend, i've finally taken the plunge (NO not asked her to marry me - started this thing) and started to record my rambling thoughts... and believe me, they do ramble.
