Here goes a trial run at inserting photos into this blog format and arranging image and text exactly as I want them, side by side, I hope. Stand by. Success! Did I mention that it has been windy around here? This picture of a Border Leicester ewe was taken years ago when we had a fair number of Borders. I think it illustrates my point about our wind.

I'm entering new territory with this blog post. To be safe, let me start with the weather. 'Twas negative 18 when we left the house this morning to feed livestock. The mercury rose to a balmy +2 early in the afternoon when I ventured forth to fill a stock water trough. Weed, our loyal Border Collie companion, joyously accompanied us for all chores, but her paws are sore from our sustained cold. Her protective booties should arrive in time for next week's predicted thaw.
