I thought I would quickly check in before leaving for work this morning. What a difference in weather! Last week it was 65 and sunny, now it is 18 degrees outside! I'm getting ready to go and start the truck to let it warm up....the poor truck is not getting any younger, you know.
Yesterday was so much colder, that the ground did its freezing-in-peaks thing. It makes it so hard for the horses to walk through certain areas, especially Sonny who has feet problems in front. It was so bad that he lost his balance and fell into the stock tank. He was so wet and cold that Alex and I brought the four horses who do not have babies into the barn(the three broodmares and their babies get the 3-stall run-in).
I also have to say "Happy Birthday" to Grandma Freda, who is 91 years young today!

**Update: I just got a call from work that I can stay home on-call...WooHoo! Now I can go wrap the water hydrant in the barn with the new heat tape, get the new stock tank heater into said stock tank, and get the heat lamps up in the garage for our house pipes.
