One of the smaller benefits of living atop a slight hill surrounded by pasture and fields is that there is absolutely nothing to stop the wind from sliding under the porch and around the foundation, through myriad cracks and holes of this 113 year old farmhouse. Especially on the first day of winter and the end of the world as we knew it. Damn those Mayans!
Even the Leland Cypress trees along the road don't slow it down, and the bare branches of the Post, Blackjack, Southern Red and White Oaks only seem to intensify the cold as the wind howls among them.
The good news is that unless Armageddon happens within the next two hours, twelve minutes, Spring is only 3 months away. That means that here in NE GA we'll be getting some 70 degree days along about the end of February. Sorry Minnosota............sucks to be you.
In honor of the wind.......
