Yesterday we finally took down our tree,since we put up our tree late. Right now it's sitting on our deck,but today it will probably make it's way to the goats!
I am going to go through our bookcase and donate books that I no longer want. I am one of those people who will read and re-read a book I love many,many times,but there are books that I have read only once and that was enough. We do have a set of encyclopedias that are useless now-many countries don't even exist any longer!
We have been having bitter cold weather,with wind chills down in the teens. In fact,we brought our goats inside the other night because our heat bulb was broken:
They may have been OK,but I was too worried about them.
The next day we bought extra hay to bank around their cage and picked up a heat bulb. Our barn is still a work in progress:
The blue tarp in the photo covers the goat cage. Even though the barn is not complete,we figured it would give them some shelter from the wind. We put a piece of plywood across the top of the cage and and blue tarp over it. They have a large dog igloo to sleep in,and we make sure that they have fresh shavings for bedding. We also make sure we bank it with bedding hay to help keep them warm.( Plus the heat lamp,of course).
How's the weather in your neck of the woods?
Yay!
ReplyDeleteBlimmin' hot here :D Not complaining though, I'd rather the heat that what some of you are getting over there, I read on some news site that parts of the US were colder than Mars!! Whaaaaat! The goats would probably been ok with plenty of bedding. You could try getting them some coats, not joking either, depending on the size of your goats, large dog ones might do it. Stay warm and good luck with the book cull.
