December in Wyoming is an amazing time to be out and about, but you better be ready for it when you leave the house. This morning I woke to -4F outside and the last thing I wanted to do was leave our cozy cottage.

Nevertheless, things need to get done. Pets need fed, chickens need watered, eggs need gathered and bacon needs brought home, so to speak.

So out the door I went. But not before I threw on my Carhartt coat, insulated Danner boots, and my insulated work gloves.

Then I then I told the kids to get all the chores (listed above) done as I headed out the door to spend the day in the warmth of my office. Now if I have to go outside for something important like hunting pheasants or ice fishing, I’m all in.

But working out in this stuff?

You’d have to be nuts!

Two nuts working in snowy Wyoming!

Merry Christmas!
