We have been having a taste of winter weather the past couple of days. We've had high winds, snow and colder temperatures. It was about 32 yesterday, only in the 20's today. The wind howled yesterday, all night long and most of today. M was a bit worried about his cows trying to head home and breaking into his parents' yard so he had R check on them yesterday and give them a bale while he was hauling a load of calves for a neighbor. He went over first thing this morning to check on them again and give them another bale and check on their water which was frozen. Then he went to check on our neighbor John's cows and got stuck in a snow bank trying to get them a bale. There's really not much snow on the ground, it's all blown into drifts. He was cold when he got home for lunch after digging himself out.
I was hoping I could just hibernate here in my nice warm house, but he recruited me to ride along in the truck while he went for his last load of bales so I could bring the tractor home. We are now done hauling our own hay, just have the 1000+ for the neighbor. M and R will start on that tomorrow after M gets back from hauling another load of calves for another neighbor.
Warmer weather and sunny skies are coming soon. I guess this taste of winter weather is just a reminder that we had better get ready!
