Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is Sunday. They say -24, they are never right. Probably -30 or worse.<\/p>\n

The three-day snowstorm seems to be over right now. The wind is calm at this moment.<\/p>\n

The cold is supposed to last three days, I know the cold always outstays its welcome.<\/p>\n

I am cooking woodstove pizza this morning. I have one that needs cooking.<\/p>\n

Pizza for breakfast was a staple years ago. So I don’t feel any guilt for that. It is just bread with veggies and cheese.<\/p>\n

Cats are fed, soon I will check their water bowls and make sure those are full.<\/p>\n

I am having that first cup, the best one of the day. My powdered whole milk is away from the fireroom, where I am on pizza guard duty.<\/p>\n

I am sure the woodstove is way too hot for any cat to reach the pizza, but my cats are super smart.<\/p>\n

Imagine a cat pyramid, with the top cat flipping the pizza on the floor that starts a cat-feeding frenzy.<\/p>\n

Later, cats making Cheshire grins at their coup de dad.<\/p>\n

Yup, I will wait here with my black coffee guarding the pizza till the extra cheese starts to bubble.<\/p>\n

It is also the warmest room in the house. Oh gotta go, the cheese is bubbling.<\/p>\n

Pizza off the wood stove, onto a paper plate, just waiting for it to get a little cooler.<\/p>\n

I will watch another episode of Burn Notice while I eat my breakfast.<\/p>\n

It will help pass the time until it is warm enough to do other things.<\/p>\n

It got a little warmer, my outside job was to sweep snow off the solar panels, and grab more old wood from the deck.<\/p>\n

Next was to cut it up with a cordless saw and be ready for the -40 tonight.<\/p>\n

While I was outside, I took a few snaps.<\/p>\n

As soon as I got in, it started to snow on the solar panels. God has a sense of humour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I predicted correctly, an extreme cold warning was issued for the next two days -40.<\/p>\n
