Why, yes, the title is a reference to “American Pie” by Don
McLean, for those of you who are old enough to remember.
Here’s a brief recap of last week: Monday morning, 19° below
zero; Tuesday and Wednesday, snow; Thursday, 6°below zero; Friday, 6° above
zero; Saturday, more snow; today, 2° below zero. Tomorrow is supposed to be
colder. There are piles of snow 20 feet high along the roads where the drifts
accumulate.

In the spirit of “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say
anything at all,” I will refrain from further comments about the weather except
this: at least it was sunny and pretty this morning. The snow was sparkly and
all the trees were covered in frost. A fog hung over the creek. I don’t know
how that happened with the temperatures so low.

We also got an update on Jackie. Hailey told Kim who told
Kate that every morning when Hailey goes out to do chores, Jackie makes a big
fuss in his cage until she lets him out. He then follows her everywhere as she
goes through her morning tasks. She has never seen a rooster so tame.
Obviously, he is a changed man.
