Feeling a bit chilly....

It's gotten freakin' COLD here! I just got back from the barn and my hands are numb. Not ready for this yet. The portable heaters are working overtime and I'm not convinced that it's time to fire up the woodstove, though this could be the night. I'm not sure how clean the flue is, either.

I'm trying to follow editor's orders and not write anything for a week. Hard to do. Not sure what I'll do with myself. Probably watch Food Network and cook too much. It'll be a good weekend for chili, though. Donna sent me her recipe, which I'll try out in the next couple of days if I get the chance. I've got it posted for next Tuesday.

In the meantime, this guy has been working hard and has gotten his hands all dirty. He's hot, sweaty, and needs to remove more of his clothes to help him cool off. Maybe you ladies can help him out. . . .
