Feels Like Winter

So much for our unseasonably warm and dry winter.  Yesterday we had all the makings of a winter day--cold temps, snow and wind.  It was about -10 when we went to feed yesterday.  I made sure I was bundled up and it wasn't so bad.  Just my toes got a little cold.  M had his weekly night out to play darts last night and it was -15 when he got home....but -24 when we got up this morning.  Brrrrrrr!!!

He had forgotten to plug in his bale pickup when he got home last night ( I distracted him with taking the grand-dog out to potty) so plugged it in first thing this morning and let it warm up for an hour or so.  And the temp warmed up to about -20 by the time we headed out.  We worked quickly and could mostly stay in the pickup except to cut the net wrap so it wasn't so bad.  Thankfully, there was no wind.

M hasn't left the house since we got back from feeding so I'm making him do some paperwork and clean out some files.  I've got to take advantage whenever I can pin him down.

J and K picked a good time to be in the Bahamas.  It's always more fun to be somewhere tropical when you know the weather is crappy at home.  Their little Piper, a Morkie puppy, is staying with us while they are gone.  Poor thing doesn't know what to do in the cold weather.  She's shivering so hard when she goes outside that she can't even begin to think about peeing, and even Pete, who doesn't like being indoors that much, is thinking the house is a good place to hang out.
