It was 16 below zero when I got up this morning.  As I write I can hear Ken telling me it is 12 degrees below now.

Yesterday was the big Christmas celebration day for Ennis, Montana.  We went out at noon to have lunch at True Value and Radio Shack.  They were serving lunch for $1 with all proceeds going to the local food bank.

We were surprised to find both business owners cooking and serving hot dogs outdoors.  It was about eleven below zero and the parking lot was full .  Later in the afternoon Ken attended the Christmas stroll where he reported downtown was packed with people.  They even had people on the annual hay ride.

Ken did not have his camera with us at noon to show you but we did drive over the Madison River to see if it had gorged.  Just as we thought ice was stacked up causing the river to overflow its banks and pour out into the surrounding pastures.

I am ready for a warmer shift in the weather.
