Winter horses and pigs

Well, we have had quite a winter here. It got cold earlier than usual and stayed cold, until last week. It got up to 38 degrees here for two days and rained. Then it got cold again. It's 8 below zero right now. So the rain and then cold has been causing all kinds of problems around here. I've had to use the big torch to thaw out numerous things that the rain got into and then froze. At least the horses have nice warm coats to wear.

Here is Ingrid hiding behind her hairdo. Doesn't she look svelte?

Now you can see her eyes.

Here's Aksel wondering why I'm not feeding him.

Here he is looking for crumbs. Poor starving horses.

Here's Perky sleeping in the straw. You see, if you bury your face the rest of you feels warm. Usually the boys sleep together but Pinky was busy looking for something to eat.

                  Now they're both looking for something to eat.

                          Feed us you mean old farmer.

It's not too often that we get a full dozen eggs cause we eat them almost everyday, but sometimes they catch up to us, so I took a pic. Pretty aren't they? Yummmm!
