Artic Blast


Continues to be COLD and WINDY, down on the farm. Last night Sprite's water bucket, inside the barn, had ice in it. The barn doors were rattling, Tom put boxes and rakes at the bottom of the door to keep the wind from gusting through the aisle. The boys have on their heavy coats.

Yesterday Tom was able to wire in, with a ground-fault interrupter, the main water trough, installing the heating element. I went to Tractor Supply (again) to take advantage of their 15% off one-day-only sale to get the heated buckets. This is really early in the season to be so cold, for a sustained time. It's feeling Minnesota!

It was great flipping the switch to turn on the stall lights this morning! We are so civilized.
