A snowy homeatead

Well its been a busy couple days going out every 2 hours to bust water and check on all the animal . It has been cold with the lowest low last night at negative 6. Been burning a hot fire nonstop and knitting some hats :) hoping tonight is last night of busting up ice for a while. I did managed somehow to step on the ash shovel barefoot right after using it... yeah that felt nice lol. Well until next time..God bless from our homestead to yours....

Preparing for the bitter cold

Well the forecast htime is cold cold cold for tn the next couple of days..... supposed to be pretty warm tomorrow high 40s or something then rain, then sleet , then snow and low tomorrow night 5..... then the next night -4..... thats cold for us lol. Well this morning my daddy decided to surprise me with a couple extra bales of hay and an extra bag of feed , I have plans to get hay next weekend but was running scary low. Like 3 bales :( he helped me do a little cold weather preps while hebwas here then I worked the rest of day to finish moving wood and warming chickens runs and such. So I will probably fill some water jugs tomorrow and move a little more hay anf maybe cover some more chicken fences but then I will be as ready as I can get .


The animals were loving the sunshine today

Putting some warmth up for chickens
Tied the doors shut to coop
Covered the other door with plastic ,ugly but keeps them warm till hubby can get new door up
Blocked the dog bed with wood
She has great house if she would just get in lol
Blocked some wind from other way too
And they were very happy with extra hay.

well until next time stay warm....
God bless from our homestead to yours....
