Photo Friday

It's cold. So very cold here, as I'm sure it is in many parts of the country. Today it's a balmy 3 degrees. Though, I'm thankful to be on the positive side of zero. I think the whopper this week was -16, so we'll take 3 gladly. I worry so much about the animals in this cold. I wish I could bring them all in the house and let them curl up on the couch, cozy and comfortable. Extra straw and warm water seems like little defense against this weather, but for now it's all we can do. It is surprisingly warm in the barn though...I mean not warm per se, but not as frigid as you would think. Zach and I spent about an hour out there yesterday trying to figure out if the girls are pregnant and it was cold, but not numbing like it is outside. Here's some photos that I shared on our Facebook Page this week, and some from last week too. Keep warm!
