In and Out

My morning started off with Little Wonder and Sidney.

Then it was time for chores.

Another freezing day.

It takes me a little over an hour to do everything.

Back in the house to do some laundry and grabbed a nice hot shower before picking up my new reading glasses and going to play bridge at the library.  It was windy and snowing like crazy by noon, so I chose to put Rebel and Buddy back in their suites so I would have to worry about them all afternoon.  Gary was kind enough to carry out some hot water.

We are going to get more snow and tomorrow is going to feel like -15 to -20.  I can't wait....

It took me awhile to get them in their stalls

as they finally discovered that there was a nice path to the indoor.

Once they were set, I drove to Brockport and the roads were getting covered with snow.  I had bad cards all afternoon and only played 1 hand.  Home just before 4:30 and turned the boys back out while I got their beet pulp and bran mash ready.

LW went back out with me to tuck them in around 5:45.

And now for tonight's colors.....

Night all.

Stand Up For Your Rights

Not only did we have a beautiful sunrise, it was sunny most of the day.  High of 16 but that was destroyed by the wind chill.  While I was feeding the horses, Gary blew a nice path over to the indoor.

As per usual, Buddy and Rebel stood out in the pasture oblivious to the wind.

Little Wonder took a quick potty break and did not go out for morning chores.

This is the first day I did not put the boys back in their stalls....tho they did go in half an hour early.

This time LW joined me.

We went down to Brockport for a 6pm Indivisible pot luck/postcard writing meeting that ended up with a candlelight vigil in support of Ice victims in Minnesota.

More people and food than at any other meeting.  What a turnout!

Pastor Dan

At 7 we went outside.  The local newspaper and television stations were all there along with over 125 people.  Not bad for a night with the temperature at 0.....I was very impressed by the turnout.

Pastor Dan spoke to us about his experience in Minneapolis with 700 other clergy members.  He also taught us a song.

This sign is outside of the Baptist church.  Today Pastor Dan received a call from the Village Board saying it needed to be taken down because it was political.  Good luck on that one.

Night all.

 

Still Vegging

Another crispy morning with wind.

Rebel and Buddy were outside until 2 and by then with the windchill it was -8.  Time for more hay and some warm water.

Gary went to yoga and lunch.  I held down the fort and definately have to get off this property tomorrow.  Have not been anywhere for days.

Turned the boys out at 5 and got their dinner ready.  

Little Wonder was more than happy to stay in the house.

Good to get back by the fire.  Right now it feels like 1degree

 The sky was a little different tonight.  The snow looked like whipped cream.

I did manage to make dinner.  Chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes and

a side of jello with carrots and walnuts.....1940 style.

I'm not looking forward to 10 more days of this weather.

Night all.

PS

Kudos to the citizens of Minnesota.  They are making a difference.
