having to go out every few hours and break up the ice so these animals will have something to drink. I also fish out the ice so it doesn't freeze back so quick.
I am thankful that the wind has died down today. The past couple of days the north wind has sent hay out all over the place. Anyone have any desire for a worthless Longhorn? She is nothing more than an oversized dog with horns!
Here's my Jess..doesn't she have the sweetest eyes?
And Buddy's Cinch...he's just an all-aroung sweetheart.
But it's pretty much very quiet and desolate out here...waiting for another round of cold to come in this afternoon. We're forecasted to have 80% of snow starting this afternoon ... 1-3 inches of it. This is not supposed to be happening in Texas!
Right now, all I hear is the clanking of the chains against the metal panels of the round pen. So I'll sit and wait by the fire...inside...
Stay warm and Happy Trails...

It's a sunny 9 degrees here, and we have enough snow for everyone! Hope you see warmer temps soon:D
ReplyDeleteBerte!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you! You guys stay warm up there!
I have to show my daughter your horses with their coats on. She is going to start riding lessons soon and just can't wait!
take care!
One more thing- what kind of wood stove do you guys have?
ReplyDeleteHi Berte - looks cold down there. They say y'all guys will get more snow than us! This has been a strange winter - thank you Al Gore for global warming. YEAH right!
ReplyDeleteYour place is so pretty and your horses are great. I hope to have some in the next year or so. As well as chickens. I'm glad you've got your wood stove Just In Case!
Stay cozy!
Jess is a doll......and I love the chickens, I can't wait till I can have some, they're not allowed where we live now. We have plans to build on my husband's family farm in a couple years, and chickens are first on my list!
ReplyDeleteI have to bust the ice in one trough here too.....the other one has a tank heater, and I love it! We can't get the other one to work properly, so I still have to break the ice in that tank until we can figure out what's going on with the heater.
Bundle up and stay warm!
