“So what, are we doing out here, Lucy?”
“I thought we were going to play ball.”
“I think I can see my breath.”
“I don’t doubt it, Little One. I’m calling mom.”
“What is taking so long? I swear it is freezing out here.”
“I’m not sure. It’s like we have been abandoned.”
“Okay, you two, you are inside now. What is the big feal?”
“Exactly what is the temperature out there?”
“Let’s see. Looks like 41 degrees with a high today of 42 and a low of 30 degrees.”
“Man, oh, man. And we short hairs are supposed to play ball out there?”
Not me. This is more like it.”
“Yeah, I’m heading to my bed.”
“You in your bed, Little one?”
“Murfff.”

It has been unseasonably cool here on the Gulf Coast too, John, but you have us beat. I think the kids have Identified the right coping mechanism, though. When in doubt, tuck in for a nice nap! ☺️

It’s freezing in our area as well. Just when all signs pointed to Spring, we were surprised by winter! The pups manage it well — just cuddle up and sleep through it. 😀

Cold it may be, but I have to know — did you let them out to play in the snow/graupel/sleet that fell in Austin last night? Did your neighborhood get to see it? I can only imagine this pair confronting snowflakes!
