So I’m feeling kinda sad that it’s been so cold outside, but then I thought just ‘get over it’. Seriously, there is nothing that I can do about it and with the temperature this morning at -31 degrees F and that was just the air temperature … yup I’m thinking that this is just how it’s going to be for awhile. So I was looking at some pictures tonight that I took the other day of the dogs and thought to myself – it’s all about adapting the your environment.
This is the picture of the dogs that I took.
Kaiser just chillin’ in the yard
As you can see Kaiser took the rug off our front porch and brought it out to the yard to lay on. Now I’m hoping that no one will ever say our dogs are dumb because I’m thinking that I’ll argue that statement! And it’s not that uncommon for the dogs to take our porch rugs or take something off the clothes line and then lay on it on the cold or wet ground in the yard. I’m guessing they like to lay in the middle of the yard so they can get a 360 view of everything going on around them. It’s all about adapting.
And since it’s so stinkin’ cold outside, what better time to clean out the freezer right? We’ve been working on getting some of the ‘older’ stuff used up in the freezer so I could get it all unpacked and start over with a little bit more organization. And how do you clean out your freezer when you live in Iowa?
Looks like it’s time to thaw out and get a good wiping down!
Well you wait until some really cold days come through and then you simply get some bags and load up your car in the garage. Yup, that’s right! Now if you just set the bags on the porch or beside the house – it’s like a buffet for any animal just walking by. They seriously would think they died and went to heaven if you did that! Instead you take bag by bag and put them in your car and then just unplug your freezer.

I also put a fan facing our freezer so help the thaw and by the end of the day I was able to wipe it all down and reload our stuff back into it. I was pretty happy that there wasn’t too much junk that I’ve bought that we wouldn’t use. Yup, adapting.
And finally, I knew it was snowing today but when I went outside and was ready to head home for the day the car looked like this –
Adapting? Yea.. I don’t think so. Now where did we put that hotel number for Jamaica again?
