I am so glad I bought my new North Faced Jacket! I know living in New England you will get slammed with a Deep freeze but common already! When I got up this morning to warm up my car at 6:30 am it was beyond freezing out..so cold my car did not want to start... on my way to Bring Tori to School at 7am it was -15* below zero! That my friend is a painful cold! so cold it burns your skin and you choke when you breathe....
On my way into work at the barn today I passed a farm house that I love...here is a picture...Mind you that is not snow on the trees..it is PURE ICE!
( this photo I got of the internet..but it looks alot like the pony we have at the barn)there are a few horses that wont let you blanket them or go inside so they bare the outside cold...they are Horse popicles! I feel so bad for them but if we bring them in the barn they get stressed out...they rather stay outside for some reason..Strange Horse? I;d rather be in the heated barn!
so my day today was just grad! I open up a packet of foot and hand warmers and place them in my golves and boots....
Grab a hammer and smack the waterbuck in Bulls stall to break the ice and give him fresh water....
mind you...at work it was -23!....way to cold to be outside!and water buckets freeze in minutes!
Then the blacksmith came today and put snowshoes on Bull so he wont have ice and snow build up on his hoofs....he has had so much snow build up in on his hoofs he looked like he was walking on baseballs...
then when I get home I let the Pugs out to go pee....Belle was so cold she rolled her side out in the yard and laid all 4 legs out straight because the cold weather hurt her paws...Turbo and Coal went out but came right back in and peed on my boots....( too cold to pee outside! I guess) Willow peed but when she did she would pick one foot up at a time....

to top it off...our pipes froze in the garage....(eyeroll).. Brad just went to get Heat tape for the pipes to make sure they wont freeze up again.....
I hate this Deep Freeze! I'm not a happy camper lately! I think I may hibernate until spring!
