I refuse to complain as I realize that many of you
are experiencing far colder weather than we are right now.
But let me just tell you that this is about as good as it gets right now...
my hair is plastered to my head from wearing all of this gear.
(What do you mean I'm not so good at taking selfies?)
(and no, I don't think my nose is really that crooked!)
I have been going outside to check on my friends every couple of hours....
throwing fresh hay to everyone,
filling water buckets (heated, of course),
trying to scoop poop (but it freezes as soon as it hits the ground and becomes like granite),
and making sure that all are surviving.
(believe it or not, this is in the sunshine)
The farm is a skating rink.
I'm wearing Yak Traks on my muck boots to keep from breaking a bone.
And I am still wearing yesterday's Under Armor.
Each trip outdoors is as short as possible...no time to take pictures.
We are all eating our way through the cold!
I hear that things are going to start warming up tomorrow.
Yay!
And now I really do have to go take a shower...
and put on a new set of Under Armor.
And that's as good as it gets.
Ok, it actually gets a little better....
Last evening, after I had already written today's post (above),
I sat down with the mail...
some seed catalogs and the newest issue of MaryJane's Farm magazine.
I opened the magazine and was oohing and aahing over the cute animal
pictures on this particular page, when I suddenly realized that there was a picture
that I had submitted some time back.
Our very own Moll, MaryAnn, and Milford were right there on the page!
How about that!

Hope you all thaw out soon. The thermometer photo is amazing!

That thermometer shows scaring temps. Brrrrrrrr . . .
RE the weather...I'm glad I live in Florida. Our 47 this morning didn't feel so bad
I do love MaryJane's farm Magazine, and her ideas on country living, cooking, animal care, etc. I love that the mag is made with recycled paper, I even love the texture of it. What bothers me is when people put out a magazine and have themselves on every cover. Something about that one silly thing is a turn off for me. Oprah does the same darn thing.
Anyway.. stay warm! Supposed to get balmy in these parts of the country soon, Amen.

P.S. Thanks for the photo it is up on the blog today
Wow, that is pretty darn cold!!!
I just bought myself one of those ski masks - mine is very bright orange. : )
Stay warm Bev, I wish I could send you some sunshine.
fondly,

Congratulations on getting the photos printed in the magazine. Wait until Mary Anne, Moll Flanders & Milford find out their famous. Do ya think it will go to their heads? That is my all time favorite photo you have taken, Rooster +Cat+Pig - Just because it boggles the mind. How great is it, that all the readers of Mary Janes Farm get to see how special your animals truely are. Too Cool (and I'm not referring to the weather)!
