After ten minutes of dressing Cindy Sue and myself for the cold, we venture out to feed the herd.I had a feelin' there might be some good photo ops!
Sunrise through the frosted elm tree |
Oh my, it was a glorious mornin' despite the cold!
I say the girls are happy this mornin'...they have plenty of hay to keep cow smiles on their faces! |
I left all of the tank heaters plugged in, which I hate to have to do because of the cost, but I want to keep everyone hydrated.
Tracks in the snow |
After making quick work of getting everyone fed, I took a few shots, and we (all the dogs and me) were ready to get into the house and stand by the wood stove. Ahhhhh...lovin' that wood heat!
gorgeous snowy shots. so beautiful!! ( :
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Mine weren't as scenic today during chores.
ReplyDeleteLOL, why do I feel compelled to show what I do at chore time?
Love that first one...should be hanging in a gallery!
Buurrutiful! (sorry it just popped into my head) Stay cozy!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome shots. That is one thing I miss about not having an indoor woodstove and that is being able to stand in front of it to get warm!
ReplyDeleteSo great to have you back with some posts! Love your pictures!!
ReplyDeleteBurr....it was chilly there! There's nothing like a wood stove when it's that nippy!...:) JP
ReplyDeleteThe little water tank only holds 25 gallons for our Dexter cattle that are only waist high to me. So it is rather easy to keep them in fresh water.
ReplyDeleteYes those plastic sleds are a miracle for haying and watering!
Karen, it undoubtedly was more than a tad cold, but your photos are SO beautiful... I placed your last shot of your horse looking back at you on my desktop as wallpaper. (Thanks too for coming by.. I missed you!)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures look cold! Brrr!
ReplyDeleteGoing inside to a wood fire sounds wonderful!
Brrr! That is cold! I am so happy we don't get that cold but I might take that over all the rain we get! Beautiful pictures, as always!
ReplyDeleteOur tank heaters have thermostats, we leave them plugged in all winter and they only come on when they need to.
ReplyDeleteLove the last shot, it's not often that one can take a photo directly in to the sun and have it turn out so nice.
I dunno how cold that is, but sounds cold and the pics turned out wonderful. Ussually when its cold here I try to get everything done quickly and dont even take out the camera, I save that for a warmer day.
ReplyDeleteOh.My.Word. What gorgeous pictures!! That first one is simply stunning!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful....
