Woke up to temps in the teens, after it rained, then turned to snow overnight. Had to use a lighter to get into the back of the trailer to get horse feed, but fortunately, the barn was still pretty warm from yesterday, and the Tack Room was downright cozy with the wood stove still burning embers from last night. Put the heavy blankets on the horses nevertheless, as temps aren’t supposed to go above freezing today, and the heat in the barn was bound to dissipate through the day. No point in doing much of anything today with the cold, it was all we could do to stay warm in the trailer. Thank goodness we have plenty of propane, and there’s very good insulation in here, but nevertheless, we’ve been running the electric fireplace and an extra space heater, and having to supplement that with the furnace to keep it warm enough for Hubby, who gets uncomfortably cold whenever it’s less than about 76 degrees in here. So it was a lazy day of old movies and computer work, a nice, quiet day at the cold, cold farm!
