Variable
Doesn't it seem that if it was in the mid-20's overnight,
cold enough to freeze the water in the dogs' water bowls (although not their trough in the corral, nor the pond, nor the pipes ... generally has to be in the teens for all of that to freeze);
and if I have the first fire of the year burning in preparation for the creosote cleaning log;
and if the dung beetles and toads have departed for the season (sadness! They are helpful with dog poop and bugs!) and the yard is littered with the corpses of frozen horse lubbers;
and the woodpecker on the shady side of the tree was practically a sphere, he was so puffed up...
that I shouldn't be periodically hearing random "tick! tick!" sounds from the family room, as normal-sized grasshoppers launch themselves into the French doors?
