The Weather Advisory Continues

Today was considerably better.  19 degrees and very little wind.

Gary did the usual in the barn this morning... emptied the water buckets and dumped the wheelbarrow.  We did some shoveling and then he left with our friend Al to go to Waterloo for lunch.  They were meeting a classmate from their college days and had a great time.  Fortunately the roads were bare.

Little Wonder did not go out with me for morning chores again.  

However, he did go with me to the bank and Country Max, where we picked up some grain and shavings.  Who was there?  Sherri, his first groomer from 9 years ago.  He still knows who she is and loves her.

Back home and we all took it easy for the afternoon.

When Gary got back to the farm he unloaded the car for me.

The boys went in at 5:30.  They managed to be outside the entire day.

Leftovers for dinner.  Neither of us were very hungry.

Night all.

PS

I am still making calls to Washington.  Today I left messages for many senators regarding social security.  Hopefully, momentum is building between the rallies and calls.  Can't imagine that very many people are happy with what is going on.  Every single day more and more are being impacted in one way or another.  Kudos to all who have resigned from high positions as they do not want to break the law or be associated with T and M.  They sure can't keep their stories straight lately.  Nice that they are all documented in videos.  If you are not happy, please speak up.

Double Duty

7 degrees, felt like -13 this morning.  The temperature went up to 16 or 17 and with the wind, -14.

Little Wonder chose to come out with me, even tho it was colder than yesterday.

The horses had some hay behind the grooming room while I cleaned stalls and set them up.

They were back in by 9:30 with fresh hay and warm water.

I spent the day staying warm by the fire.

At 4:30 I turned the boys back out, cleaned and set up the stalls.....again.  (While they finished up the morning hay).  Still blowing.

They were in from 9:30-4:30 but cleaning the suites was not too bad.

Went back to the house to get their beet pulp with warm bran mash and their carrots.  My ski poles have been coming in handy.

LW was back on duty.

I do believe they were happy to be back in their stalls.

Put dinner together and it was delicious.

Night all.
