Oh, Momma, It's Cccooolllldddd Outside!

Brrrrr. 4.2 degrees (Fahrenheit.) With a wind chill of -15 degrees. So cold that the snow squeaks when you walk. That if you breathe through your nose it freezes your nose hair. You don't want to have too much bare skin exposed. Slopped some water on the concrete and it froze instantly.

Happy Frozen New Year.

Blanketed Aspey as she was shivering. Gave her a whole bale of hay along with a double helping of grain (No hay replacer pellets :) Snuggled everyone else in their stalls with water, hay and grain. Then ran inside to thaw by the wood stove.

So glad I took those iron horse shoes off their feet. That must add to the cold.

So, I'm sitting here, soaking up the good old wood stove heat. Enjoying the almost melting feeling on my face and feet.

How many days until spring is here? Too many, no matter how many times you count.

Have a Great New Years!
