Happy New Year!

Nothing like a late night, freeze your tussie, off milk/feeding session! I was busy making our new web-site and lost track of time, sorry Fiona! There is something magical about sneaking into the barn while the horses are laying down :-)
  Fiona's giving around a quart twice a day now, her tata's are extremely small I have a hard time milking her, once it warms up I think I'll pass that task off to Micah!
   Its amazing how fast I can get everyone watered and fed when it's this cold, I was in and out in under ten minutes, maybe I should start keeping time.
  It was so cold tonight, the horse's eyelashes had frost on them! They got extra hay and a new layer of straw.  I cannot wait for it to warm up!!
 There are no new signs that anyones going into labor in the new future, hoping they all wait till it warms up, which it has to do at some point, right?
 The hens are laying pretty good right now, I figure in a month or so I'll let the broody girls sit, since we've lost a few this winter.
 Anyways enough of this tired ramble.
Happy New Year!
