Brr
Overnight it went down to 6 degrees. And it's windy. Brr!
Gary decided today to bring the cows down from the hill. We have part of the new barn set up for them, and fencing around the back of it and the pond so they can be close by and warmer for the winter. Moving cows half a mile on a cold windy day is ... well it's not fun exactly. We got them in eventually. Chance the calf is very good at finding holes just his size in the fence, he's a regular Houdini.
The bantam chicks I had to bring into the basement. They were very cold this morning and didn't look like they would make it if left in the barn. I stuffed them in between layers in my coat as I finished chores, and set them up in the basement when I came inside. They are looking much much better as I write this.
The group of chickens pictured 4 days ago disappeared that very day. I have been looking for them as I can, but they finally appeared this morning in the new barn. Gary says they have been roosting in the rafters. I had no idea!
Today is our fifth wedding anniversary. Because of the morning's excitement I am staying home from work today. We need to run to Gary's mom's to pick up the sawmill since we have a job tomorrow. Here's hoping it is warmer tomorrow!
