And the temps are hovering around 0 degrees F with a nasty wind chill. But now we have rain coming on Thursday with highs in the 40s.

But then again there's the trade off of making sure they're well taken care of at home. Not a glamorous business at all. This week has been the pits. -2 last night and it got up to 3 degrees today. The herd couldn't wait to go out but then they couldn't wait to come in. They practically charged the gate to get in. Went through 3 bales of hay too.

It's like 1/4 mile each way so I was ready to lay down and die by the time we got back, but instead we got to clean stalls because horse ownership is just an endless stream of fun. Today the tractor is starting, but the high is -1 so that's fun too.Olivia @ DIY Horse Ownershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138490796669110523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-74625623008556857322019-01-21T13:26:29.653-04:002019-01-21T13:26:29.653-04:00This weather is the WORST.
