:: Chores Are No Fun In Below Freezing Temps ::


The last of the Christmas decorations has been cleaned up and packed away.
More snow fell all day yesterday and left us completely covered in a beautiful white blanket.
Well, beautiful as in if you are looking at it from the warmth of the house windows.
Chores at these temps are seriously no fun.
It's negative 19 with the wind chills right now and is supposed to be colder over the next few days. 
While I'm so thankful for water heaters, they just aren't keeping up which means we have to break ice and water all the critters twice a day. 
All of the livestock have plenty of warm straw to snuggle down in.
So, So thankful the hydrants haven't frozen up.
Here's to all the real farmers out there who do this day in and day out at a much larger scale. My little hobby goat farm is some hard work, so kudos to you all!
The yard and the unkept landscaping doesn't look quite as bad all covered in snow.
Wishing you all a warm & safe Happy New Year!
