Well....I have just about had enough of winter, and the whole of next week looks like its going to be more of the same! To make matters worse, the power went off at 9:00am this morning just as I was sitting down with my cereal and a hot cup of coffee. This is a very rare occurance here, and I expected it to come right back on.....nuh uh, it took a good 3 hours before it came back on and in the mean time, to add insult to injury a strong south wind blew in. This combined with some rediculously cold temps equaled 2 frozen waterbowls and 40 cows plus 16 heifers and a couple of bulls that thought their world would come to an end if they didn't get a drink RIGHT NOW. Luckily it was only the top float assembly on both bowls that had frozen, they hadn't been without power long enough for the freezing to keep going south. Kya came with me and while I worked on the waterbowl, she gathered cows and pushed them back out to the field.....much nicer than having cattle breathing down your neck while you're trying to operate a wrench :o)
