Caffeine, Give me CAFFEINE

We went to bed late, then around 3:00am I woke up in a panic, couldn't breathe, no air was getting through either nostril. I've picked up a head cold, bummer.
The dogs came bursting in our room at 5:00am wanting out, stumbling down the stairs to open the front door and a blast of winter comes roaring in. I'm now on my second cup of coffee and just starting to feel human instead of like a zombie. Caffeine is a great cure-all.
The humongous snow storm that was predicted earlier in the week to drop 8-10 inches last night, has left a light dusting of less than an inch of new snow on the stairs.
Today the presents hidden in the attic need to be hauled down and wrapped, the Sceggel Christmas is tonight at David and Stephanie's house.
We are anxious to see them, and hear about their trip. They have been in Mexico for the last week helping at one of the missions.
At the farm yesterday Steven and Mike put in a new round bale for Raven. Diane did not have a very good day yesterday. As the weather wasn't too awful Mike decided to dig the hole for the new automatic waterer we are putting in at the cabin field. The ground was still frozen so he used the yanmar and broke through his propane gas line AND the water line. Hopefully they can both be repaired before the freezing of the cabin occurs. At least it was the well water line, he was able to hook back up to city water for the house. Mike finished the bale feeder he designed. We will be excited to try it out, if it works as designed, we will save both hay and clean up.
