Just A Little

Nice and bright when I went out to the barn.  Still in the 20s.
I think it's time to put hay out every morning in addition to what they get at night.




Right after chores I made a very quick trip to the bank and Wegmans and got home just as Alice was pulling in the driveway for Spa Day.
It took the boys awhile before they seemed interested in joining us.


We finally bribed them to come in.






Little Wonder likes to go in and out while we are grooming.
I'm sure the boys were a little chilly when we took their blankets off.



Alice gives them carrots when they are finished.
Gary had the fire going when I got back in the house.  You know what that means.



It snowed for about 20 minutes.  That's all we got.
Evening chores a little before 5.  Not quite as cold as it was this morning.



I'm only out there for around 15 minutes or so, but by the time they are tucked in it's really dark.



I had meatballs and sauce leftover from last night and invented something new to us. 
A deconstructed....open faced.....meatball sandwich on Naan bread.



A keeper!  Try it!
Gary spends a lot of time in this chair reading and napping.
Hanny, this afternoon he was reading one of Bill's books (short stories).
So that's today's story.  Of course you must already know that the Buffalo Bills played a great game in the snow last night and won with gusto.  Yay!  I don't know how the fans can handle two feet of snow on their seats.  They try to move it off, but there is nowhere for it to go.  I would have been frozen.
Night all.

Finally....

It never got out of the 20s today, and once again the water trough was frozen.  The heater will be on during the day if it's below freezing.  Fortunately, the barn is warm enough that Buddy and Rebel's buckets don't freeze.  Each night they get topped off with hot water.

Once again I put hay in the front paddock and they went for it....still some left tonight.


We had turkey and gravy on toast for lunch.  The end.  No more.
The fire was going all afternoon and we took it easy.




Beautiful sunset.....again.


Got the boys tucked in and they were both filthy.  They will definately need a spa day tomorrow.


I made a big pot of sauce.....craving it after all those turkey meals.
Night all.
