It rarely gets this cold during winter here in the Houston/Galveston area. This morning when I awoke the thermometer read 24 degrees. Last night we turned off the water into the house as a precaution to freezing pipes.
This morning I was having a hard time deciding on whether or not to walk Maximus. Finally, after enduring sad dog eyes, I decided just to walk around the block one time. After about 5 minutes my hands were red and turning numb. My face was hurting and numb. I have always wondered what it felt like to be in a really cold area – where the temperature is in the negative numbers. I can not handle temperatures in the mid-20’s. Supposedly, it is suppose to be cold for a couple of more days. All I want is the sun to come out and warm the earth.
