Whan An Upper!!!!

Beautiful sunshine all day long.
The horses were loving it and stayed out until evening chores, soaking up the rays.
A very nice break for me.






 Phoebe stayed in the house and Little Wonder went out to the barn with me.


 It was 1 degree and -14 with the wind chill.
Fortunately he is able to hunker down in deep shavings while I am in the barn.
When we were finished, both dogs were ready to have a stretch.
 At 11:30 we drove out to Hamlin to meet our friends Lora and Jeff for lunch.
This is their restaurant.
 Our meals were outstanding and I FORGOT to take photos.
 We did bring home a couple of cranberry orange scones.
Look at that!  The roads were bare....quite a change.
 Back home around 3.  What a difference the sunshine made.










 Gary built a fire and I think I fell asleep when he left to go watch 
Coop's basketball game.

 At 5:30 I rallied enough to make us a nice dinner.
Looking forward to even warmer temperatures tomorrow.
Today's high was around 16.
Night all.

Morning Chores - 3 Hours...-14 Degrees

Once again, the sun made all the difference...
until the wind kicked up a little before noon.










 Rebel and the girls were out until noon and then the wind kicked down the temperature and it got very blustery.
 Phoebe and Little Wonder had several very short breaks outside today.
No going to the barn to help with chores.

 Instead.....


 By late afternoon the solar coming in from the West windows warmed things up.
Even if it was just in my mind.



 I made dinner and did not eat until I got home from a meeting.
Gary indulged at the regular time while everything was nice and hot.
Night all.


PS
They extended our red alert warning from 6pm tonight to 7am tomorrow.
Just what we needed.
