Here it Comes

Today we made it to 24 degrees and by tomorrow morning it will be -1.  Hurry spring!!!

Little Wonder wanted to assist.

All I wanted to do today was stay warm and I worried about Rebel, who is still not himself.

Evening chores a little before 5 as I wanted to change up the blankets before we plunge into temperatures that could reach -20 with the wind.

It was snowing when I got out there.

Fortunately the barn was not too bad when I did the blanket switch and a quick brushing.

Now both boys have on two substantial blankets and that's about all I can do.  They won't be spending much time outside this weekend.

I did not go back to the house until around 6 and by then it was pretty dark.

Interesting how different the light can be from the West to the East.

Taco salads part two tonight.  This time I added avocados.

I like to mix it all up before digging in.

Night all.

PS

Just when you think T can't sink any lower....he does.  His post of the Obamas was such a disgrace.

How can anyone respect him?

First Place

After tomorrow, we are going into a polar plunge.  Enough already!  Today the high was 23 and we had some sunshine.

Rebel is still having a tough time and the windchills are not going to help.

Little Wonder was game for morning chores.

Before going to bridge at the library I ran a few errands.  The last was to buy tickets for this concert that will be at the Tower Fine Arts Center (at the college) next week.  I love A cappella.

Terry was my partner at bridge and we came in first.  Home a little before 4:30 and got things together for evening chores.  I was late getting out as I was communicating with Spectrum about a streaming problem that finally worked out.   The remote needed fresh batteries.,,,,duh.

The temperature in the barn was almost 20. Tomorrow night it's going to feel like 15 or 20 below 0 with the wind and it will probably go down to 10.  Too cold!!!!

By the time I got the boys tucked in, it was almost dark.

Ice was hanging from the basketball hoop in the front paddock.

And here I am, riding my trike back to the house.....

French toast and sausage for dinner.  Perfect.

Night all.

More Sunshine!

Rebel was a little better this morning.....I'm sure the bute gave him some relief.

I love these Colorado skies....such an upper.

After chores I let Little Wonder out (naked) and he kept me company while I shoveled the driveway.

After that, he and Sid were couch potatoes.

I made a quick trip to Aldi's and started on dinner before chores.  This time I went out after 5.

Much lighter later.

Got Rebel and Buddy tucked in for the night.

LW joined me and wore his sweater.  By then it was 16 degrees.

At 5:40 it looked like this.

I made huge taco salads for dinner.  Greens, peppers, tomatoes, ground turkey with onions and taco seasoning, sour cream, Catalina dressing, salsa and taco strips.  Have enough leftovers to make then again!  Ole!

Night all.

PS
