Winter... Cold... Below freezing temperatures. I know this is not a news flash to our show family...because I am always the one huddled around the heater... But, this week, I developed (or was reminded of) a whole new hatred for winter.  You see, I am the mom that is supposed to stay inside and have a hot meal and a cup of hot chocolate waiting for my men when they come in from doing chores. I am not the one that is supposed to be outside getting cold. To be fair, I have paid my dues. I had a paper route growing up so I know all about those 40 below wind chills. Last week, Daniel had to attend to some family matters, so the day after Christmas he and the boys headed out of town. I stayed behind to work and tend to the farm.  My men didn't choose to leave... They had to.... But did they have to leave when it was so cold? I mean really cold... Below 0 cold every day. Windy.... Freeze your nose hairs... Freezing cold.  But, I got up at the crack of dawn each day and headed to the barn.  To fight frozen hoses... Frozen cow pies...  Frozen water....  And snowy cows. And, to top it all off.... The furnace quit working. I know, I am married to a furnace man....but that doesn't help when he is out of town. My plan to get to work early on Friday went up in smoke as I was tearing apart a furnace.  My men are home now...  And back to chores.... And I am back inside where I should be... In my nice warm house (Daniel fixed the furnace)... Making hot chocolate... And looking out the window at the falling snow. You might also like...

AuthorHello! I am Heather... the city girl turned mom to manure loving country boys. My husband and I both grew up in the city, but spent weekends visiting grandparents in the country. We are first generation farmers who learn best by almost always doing things the hard way. I hope you enjoy following along with our adventures down on the farm. Archives
