It was a lovely morning spent outside until those north winds started to blow. I enjoyed a hot mug of tea early, barefoot on the porch, before starting the chores of the day. I wrapped a few tree trunks in burlap, hanging shiny ornaments from their topmost bough, to protect them from the deer. We dug a few more post holes for the new fence, trying to get ready for the horse. I squeezed in some indoor gardening between tasks, and the temperature dropped every hour. I spent a lot of time tending to the chickens, even rubbing Vaseline on the tall combed girls! Last super cold day, we had a few with tiny bits of frostbite, so I'm hoping to prevent that this time. We're supposed to go to 13 degrees after a warm 64 degree start. Thankfully, the girls don't seem to mind the cold! Painting number 4744 in 4744 days.
