On the way to dropping off the boys to school this morning, the car said the temperature outside was negative 7 degrees. Early this morning, Farmer J was off to the big city for work. Luckily for me, he doesn't have a night class tonight, so I'm hoping I don't have to do the pm farm chores. Fingers crossed.
Things I do on cold days:
- only park my car in sunny parking spots
- wear my hat everywhere, including indoors
- appreciate the fact that farmer J starts and warms up the car for me whenever he can
- be thankful for my car seat warmer and that the bathrooms in our new house get toasty warm (the bathrooms in our old farmhouse were always so cold, especially the toilet seat, which was brutal!)
- bake, bake and bake! The oven warms up the kitchen and the time baking with my boys warms up my soul
I'll leave you with our latest picture of the lamb nursery!

Right birthing pen: lamb Saoirse with mama Beatrix

Hoping for warm-er weather but thankful for a healthy farm family (furry, wooly, feathered and human!)
PS: the heat lamps not only warm the lambs but have tricked the hens brains into thinking the days are longer...and we are now getting some eggs!
