WOW ITS COLD
Yesterday evening Kim filled the water tank up and plugged in the water heater. They had been able to drink from the creek up till now so we will be watering till warm weather. She also put a round bale in and locked the animals in the lot to reduce the possibility of them slipping on the ice covered slopes going down to the creek crossings. Nothing like doctoring in the winter, it is a terrible way to spend your time so we just lock them up. She also put some hay in the mangers so they could eat inside the barn if they wanted. Usually they will stand out side and eat but this morning they were all in the barn and seemed glad to be there, so apparently this weather isn't fit for man nor beast. Any way she did all this while I was still at work and when I got home only had to spend a short amount of time in the cold to help her finish it up. I have to say I have THE BEST WIFE in the WORLD. How did I get so lucky?
Hey, I'm the one who always milked the cows around here and fired up the wood furnace when we had one. I'm glad we don't have one now, though. And I only milk my Jersey cow when I need milk, these days.
