It's a little chilly out there this morning 8 outside and 20 in the barn. Girls are doing well, they had a warm grain mash this morning, heated buckets are going, and they have good hay. They seem happy which is all I ask.

It's a very snowy, windy, chilly day. We've been very lazy today, husband woke up with a slight hangover, me; cramps, and a headache. Nothing getting accomplished today except the barn getting cleaned, the older 2 horses did not want to go out to brave the snow and wind, but the young one did, she likes to get outdoors for a little while no matter what the weather is, as long as I'll let her.
Max went out and raced with the wind and caught a few soft snow balls, then did his thing and headed back indoors to get warm and take a nap. He has a great life.
There were quite a few turkeys out roosting in the trees today, they look strange; these great big dark things in the trees, they really look uncomfortable.

The farrier was here yesterday, trimmed all the girls, each got a clean bill of hoof health. It started snowing late last evening and now we have between 4 - 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground. Lakota went out this afternoon while the barn was cleaned, but the other 2 didn't want any part of the snow and elected to just wander around inside while their stalls were mucked.
30 years ago today my mother took me to Utica to pick up my first German Shepherd puppy in a snow storm. Just goes to show you; mom's will do anything for their kids. He was 8 weeks old, a black and silver, sweet puppy. Apache CD, miss you bud, you were awesome!!
