Winter Day

Today is more our normal winter weather pattern. The sun never came out and a cold blowing rain moved in.Very dreary and gray.So after feeding this morning I got the dye pots going again on the wood stove. Two pots, a fire red and a hot pink, not sure how I will use them, but they sure brighten up the day.Put on a pot of chicken vegetable soup from last years garden to warm up the spirit.And, watched the first 2 parts of Lonesome Dove, all in all, a good day.I have fought against the weather for so many years, many times I have tried to hang a tarp on the barn in high winds, or tried to stop drafts from coming in lambing pens, or fed out in the pouring rain, or made nightly checks for newborn lambs and kids every 3-4 hours in freezing temperatures.It was good to get everyone fed before the rain came, thanks Alex for working on a Saturday.
