Wow, got cold fast!
The weather has been wild here the last few days, two days ago it was 70 with high winds and rain, then the cold front hit and the temp dropped 40 degrees in a 12 hour period. Luckily we didn't get any tornados locally but we did get snow today! There was ice in the water troughs at chore time this morning, luckily we already got the hoses drained and put away for the year, now we get to haul water by the bucket until spring.
The last few days have been spent finishing up getting ready for winter, checking gates and chains, checking storm windows, bringing in the last of the plants for the year.
On tuesday morning our brood cow Blizzard decided to bust out and go for a run, forgetting that she had a baby in the barn. Took me a half an hour in the rain to get that girl back in and fed, her calf Lois was sure glad to see her and get a drink!
More work halter breaking this years foals, they and doing well but don't appreciate the loss of freedom, lil Malcolm even threw himself on the ground in a tantrum (just like a kid!) Not to many bruises for me this round.
For dinner this week we've had home made soup and garlic bread, then spagetti and garlic bread, then last night steak, home grown beans and taters. Good stuff and really keeping the grocery bill down.
Also actually went shopping! With hubby home on vacation we took him for a haircut, used a $10 dollar elder beerman card to buy undies (I never turn down free!) and picked up fish food. Even splurged and went out to eat, this is the third time for the year so don't feel guilty :) Will be eating at home the rest of his vacation tho.
Transferred 7 dollars from paypal to savings (payouts from PTR programs). Added 2.16 to the anniversary savings today in loose change, our other 3 savings accts are automatically funded weekly, new truck fund, regular savings and emergency fund. Also spoke to our banker and he started the paperwork to refi the mortgage at a locked in rate, this will help me sleep better at night.
