Monday morning, it’s quiet, took girls and their dogs to meet their parents at my sister’s house yesterday. We had a fun week, weather was cold, but sunny days made it nice. Girls had a great time. Mud to stomp in, ice on sheep water buckets to break, bottle lamb to feed, sheep to pet, 3 ewes had lambs and they got to watch twins being born. They held lambs while I ear tagged them and gave a CDT shot. They helped me castrate 2 ram lambs and we had a lively discussion on that. I made pan sausage and smoked link sausage for them to take home. They built their gingerbread houses, their dog ate the first 2, they ate the third one. We had pumpkin pie for breakfast and hot chocolate with marshmallows. They ate all their meals in the floor in front of the TV, watching cartoons. They dropped food, Carson licked it up, I really need to mop the floor. It was a fantastic week.
It’s cold this week, I cut my water off yesterday evening to avoid busted pipes. Tomorrow we are supposed to get ice and snow. No big deal to most of you, but here, everything shuts down. We have no snow equipment, a few chemical spraying trucks, a few sanding trucks and no way to cover the miles and miles of roads. Houston news is reveling in the oncoming disaster that the possibility of 1to 6 inches of ice and snow. Stock up on necessities, bring pets inside, cover plants, hunker down and stay off roads. No school!
I’ll go to the post office this morning to mail off some bills, then back home. The disaster storm is supposed to strike tonight. The best part is our snow events usually melt and are gone in 3-4 days. I have ewes that are due, maybe they will suck it up and gold those babies until the weather improves, maybe not. Whatever, we’ll be ok.
Much of the country is having very cold weather, lots of snow and ice and Texas is like a little girl screaming at the mere sight of a spider. Sigh…….
