Cold morning - the troughs were frozen over again and the mud is stiff in most places. The gravel was even frozen over, frosted gates. We got around 3 inches of rain yesterday and now there is a 'pond' in the dry paddock, and it is frozen, too.
There is a 'critter' in the barn - I saw it last night and don't know what it is, but it dug into the trench inside the barn where the water/electric lines enter - darn it!
Last night I heard what I thought was a bird, it moved Fluffs' stall door out, rattling, as it made its way out of the stall and into the aisle. I saw it going towards the doors, staying against the wood framing, and then out - don't know what it is. Not a squirrel, ground squirrel, or possum or like that. Small, but bigger than a mouse. Don't know for sure, might be a rat.
Tom put poison in the wash stall this morning, and while we are trying to get out the door and like that, Irene sneaks out of the house. Neither noticed she was out. I moved the car around the front, closed the gate and saw Tom and Irene running around the parking lot, so I joined the chase, trying to round her up. Around the parking lot, under the cars and trailers we went for about 5 minutes. We don't have time for that - boots and tights today, glad the wind has died down.
