Frozen water yesterday, and this afternoon, all four horses out of their winter field, into their summer pasture! We got home and saw them out there, FORTUNATELY not in the road! Apparently the neighbor who helped with the water situation yesterday didn't lock the pasture gate we were using, and out they went, sometime today. Yahoo!
He was home, we got the south pasture gates unfrozen and closed, and the horses back where they belonged. Not a disaster, but more 'adventure' than we needed out there in the cold.

I'm ready to be done with the really cold, windy, snowy weather.

I can't complain too much, as we have NOT lost power at all during this. (Hope I didn't just jinx everything!)

Our Generax, sitting quietly next to the house, not necessary again. Love it!

I'm sorry. But I'm still loving the winter cold and snow. I'll get tired of it eventually but right now it is awesome out there!! So quiet between the snow dampening sounds and so few cars out. The sounds there were this morning were lovely - squeaky snow! Yay! And beautiful!! Lovely sculptures in every direction! The burn barrel had a funny lopsided cap, the snow on the mailbox had slid halfway off - making garlands.

Exercise is much easier to do when it is for a purpose. It is still snowing here off and on. Mostly on. There will be more to shovel tomorrow.

And neighborliness!!! When I went out for session (uh, six, maybe) yesterday, the neighbor had snowblown the last of the 30+ inch deep snow across the end of the driveway. I like shoveling but I was very happy to see that.

I'm with you but I just despise the negative temps! I'm really looking forward to the next few days in the 20's. But the sunrise was pretty this morning, so I totally get it!

I like the snow too, but 25F is plenty cold enough for me!
The cold rain is the worst...

There are a few good things about winter. The outdoor fridge/freezer. My dog's allergies are at bay. You can look across the yard at night and see quite well because of the brightness of the snow. And then there are the "blankets of diamonds" on the coldest days - when we're lucky enough to have sunshine

I agree with all the wonderful things about the cold: the beauty of the sparkly snow, the QUIET (love that), the neighborliness.

But I would prefer 15-20 degrees. I'd like to see the chickens out and about in the run.

Just about 3 more days left of the arctic blast.
