Freezing Snap

Colorado is at the moment experiencing a really cold snap. Temperatures have plummeted some places to below 0f and even here are down to just 4F (-16.6c). It is SO cold.

Being aware of the dangers again is so important. The dogs aren't getting walked as its just too dangerous for their feet. Even just going into the garden they some back limping and sore from the freeze. Last year in Colorado we didn't get these low temps and I can be honest and say its quite a shock for me.

The car has spare blankets and gloves, hats etc in just in case of a breakdown.

Today I am off to help Sara get some horses done at the Barn. I think we need to get in and get out as soon as we can, its not good for any of us to be that cold for that long!

Wish me luck y'all!

Goodbye Dear Ts...

This week I noticed we have said Goodbye to our beloved T...

Not the kind you can drink, the kind that should be a part of Ethans pronunciation. I have noticed that this is the first change in his accent. Some of the words still are pretty good, I can hear a clear T, usually in the words he uses less often and not so much at school. He still says Detour, Pretty etc. But, some of them are obviously American, Water, Basketball and so on. The pronunciation seems to be influenced by whomever he hears the word spoken by mostly, school friends, teachers or Nic or myself.

Next he is going to be telling me Cider is non alcoholic... ridiculous!
