Yep, it was a chilly 28 degrees this morning & hit 58 this afternoon, at least it stopped raining!!!.
Today was the day that the grandson wanted to work "Willie". Inoculations, ear tag, castration & his halter... Willie took it like a trooper (not like he had a choice). Life is good & it was a beautiful day here!!! Margarita time!!!

Refilled the bird feeders & put out seed & a suet block for them as we have some nasty cold weather coming next week.

Fed the cattle & sorted them as I have a bull that will be delivered this afternoon. I thought I had 2 sold, but he only had the money for 1...

Local news stations telling people NOT to drip their faucets because…..it lowers their water pressure. I just can’t with this type of retardation anymore. I hope people are smarter than this.

Going to be 25 here tonight. Suppose to start snowing/ice/sleet this evening into tomorrow afternoon.....Then 18 tomorrow night
Woke up to 26 degrees & a light coating of the white stuff on the ground. The stock tanks are icing over as well. Tomorrow will be worse, they are predicting 17 degrees. Like us, Dieter is not happy about being cooped up...

Made a birthday cake for the grandson, carrot with sour cream frosting. Took it down, along with his present, so it will all be there when he gets home from school.
Since it's 60 degrees & no winds, I finished painting the last 4 plant stands.
