 It was still really cold when I got up this morning. Not quite as cold as this image of my weather station shows, as that is the low from overnight, but it was still close. It was still showing a -22F wind chill, so I decided I would really bundle up this morning. Honestly, I overdid it a bit. I was sweating like crazy, but every time I tried to pull down the balaclava to cool off, my face hurt from the cold!  I really wanted to make sure everyone was all right, especially Big Guy. I looked and looked and looked for him to no avail. After an hour of looking, I was getting a bit concerned (and frustrated!). I figured I'd do one last drive by of the far side of the pasture, and then I saw him.  You see him, right? It was that antler tip that caught my eye.  How about now?  His muzzle was a bit frosty, but he had clearly found the perfect place to spend the night, and he looked pretty bright-eyed despite being unwilling to get up for some breakfast. I left it there for him and figure he'll help himself when he's ready to give up him warm spot.
I had a bit of restless sleep last night fretting about this guy, and I'm so happy to see him looking so well this morning! Yay!

Farm LifeI was born and raised in the suburbs, but by the time I hit high school, something didn't feel right... part of me just felt empty. Farm life isn't for the faint of heart, but it fills you like nothing I've ever known, and as a gal who has only been able to farm for about a third of her life, I've seen the options! Farmers work hard, love hard, lose hard. But it's all part of deep living. When you see everything come full cycle, it helps you keep perspective about what really matters. I love farm life, and I wouldn't choose to live any other way. Archives
