Wind is blowing...again!
Yes, the wind is blowing, again. Today was actually rather quiet, and I think the warmest day of the week. It's downhill from here; with temps below 10 degrees, and windchills worse. The wind has really come up, although I don't know if it's snowing...yet. Keyword, that one.
Lambing starts in about five weeks; surely the weather will improve! In spite of the spring in the cow pond, we've had to chop ice all week for the cows. They are going thru hay like there is no tomorrow, but not hitting the lick tub as hard as we thought they would.
The baby pigs are weaned, and do come out and play at times, but they don't like this cold anymore than the rest of us do! The chickens go to roost early in the afternoon, and who can blame them. And of course, they wouldn't consider laying an egg in this!
The fire is going, supper is done, and all that's left to put to bed are the dogs and humans. I'm dreading going to work tomorrow!
The cold bothers me more than it use to, and darnit, I'm not that old!
Hope every has a wonderful New Year!
