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.

Jenny and Finn to the Rescue

We were supposed to get only 1-3 inches of snow last night....that did not happen.  We must have gotten at least 7 or 8 more inches in addition to what we already had.  Gary got up early and started the snow blower before I was going to the barn.  It sure beat having to shovel a path and he did a great job.

By 8:30 Jenny and Finn arrived to help with the driveway and morning chores.

There was no wind so Rebel and Buddy were outside for breakfast.

Once again, the wind kicked in at it felt like -5.  They had eaten all their hay so I put them in around 3:30 with more along with some warm water.

All of the schools were closed in this area and eventually the roads were in pretty good shape.  Good enough for Gary to drive into Brockport.  When the weather is like this I am an absolute bum.  The fire keeps me in a zone and the horses keep me moving.  They were served dinner at 5:30.

Some color was back in the sky.

I baked a piece of chicken and made big salads for dinner.

Romaine, tomatoes, avocados, feta cheese and the chicken.  So good.

This weather is not going to change much over the next week.  Did you get hit with some snow and frigid temperatures?

Night all.
