There were over 800 closing today in the state. Not sure any schools were opened. So my granddaughter got to play outside. Part of her playing outside was for school work. The school has what they call Blizzard Bags. It's a folder full of home work to do on some of the days off so they can count it as a school day and not get out of school so late in June. This was their 5th BB day, the last one in the folder for this year. They had 2 other days off also.
We had great little visitor at the bird feeders today. The red Cardinal was here. His bright red feathers are such a welcome site against the white drab winter colors.
My granddaughter and I were sure to fill the feeders so the birds would have plenty to eat during this storm.
Stella, the new horse, is still pretty panicky when she can't see Summer. She was alone for so long that now she has a buddy, she does not want to be with out one again! Stella hasn't quite warmed up to the goats yet like Sonny had. Sonny loved her goats.
Oh, update on the sale of Sonny. She is at her new home and doing well. She is now known as Midnight and is living with goats again. lol She didn't get along with the new horses, she is such a diva.
Unfortunately, my son, 28, has come down with the flu I think. I have seen him for a total of maybe 10 minutes in the past 24 hours. That's OK, he can stay in his room and keep his germs with him! Lysol has been my friend today. If he comes out of his room I am following close behind with the Lysol spraying anything he touches!
I was able to get the plow bills all written up yesterday. That may not sound like much to you but my husband has over 40 driveways that he plows and or sands and I hand write all the bills. Tonight my time will be spent stuffing all the envelopes and adding address labels and return address labels.
I most likely won't see my husband until tomorrow some time. It can take him over 12 hours to plow his route and with about a foot of snow and still falling....
Cold winter's night, I'm thinking maybe a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. Just my granddaughter and I.
It has gotten dark I had best go lock up the chickens for the night.
A couple nights ago I was woken up by coy dogs or coyotes howling outside my window. It is such a creepy sound. There was a pack of them howling away. I ran outside and started yelling and screaming at them to go away. I didn't want them anywhere near my chickens or goats. I have a few chickens that sleep outside but all were accounted for. Not sure what they had but man I hate that noise.
