The winter weather here is just brutal. We have about 3 inches of snow and last night the temp. dipped down to 6 degrees F. And it's gonna get colder tonight. The wind started blowing yesterday and it howled all night long.
We're just so grateful that the power has stayed on.
It's a full time job to keep the cattle and horses fed and watered. We've had two new calves born the last two days. We put the mammas and babies in the barn and they're just doing fine. The animals are so tough.
I hate the dreariness of winter when I don't have Christmas to brighten things up.
“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmastime.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder
