After a week of gloomy, drizzle, fog, clouds, snow and horrible wind chills, we’ve had a slight turn. There’s sunshine and no wind this morning. Granted, it’s only 4°F out there, but it’s still better than yesterday.
The goats agree. They came out of the barn to bask in the sunshine.
During the winter storm yesterday, I found Antigone huddled behind the door (that crack to the right of Bubbles).
I had to pull her out because she has just a tiny bit of baby bump that meant she couldn’t get out. I put her in the Love Shack with Flower. She looks much more content this morning.
Some of the critters are still staying inside.
I still really worry about the animals. We have a couple days of warmer temperatures coming and then another dive into Arctic temperatures before jumping up to the freezing point again. Poor babies.
Others are out looking for bits of leftovers from yesterday.
Don’t worry, they are getting plenty to eat in this cold.
Brrrr! That’s too cold for me! When we lived in Canada during the late ’50s and early ’60s, we experienced much colder temps than zero. It northern Manitoba, we would often have -60 degrees! Thankfully, there was no wind! We did get three or four feet of snow. I’m really enjoying the mild climate here in western Oregon.
I hope your goats do well in your cold weather.
I honestly don’t mind the cold too much as long as there isn’t wind, and Iowa is a really windy state. LOL
Iowa and Idaho are both windy and cold. We lived in southern Idaho for 19 years. I didn’t like the winters.
Here’s hoping the fur family all continues to do okay.
Thank you. We’re hanging in there so far.
