The Bunch Stay Indoors During This Cold Winter Like Weather

A made us fried oreos since we couldn't go to the state fair.

 I am not a fan of being cold. I live in Texas so I am well acclimated on how to not over heat, but these abnormal cold snaps are not enjoyable. First off any cold, rainy, windy, hot, or any other weather related phenomena, the animals still have to be cared for. That means cleaning, feeding, watering, and doing anything else required at least twice a day. Though to be fair, I just bought a hay net big enough to hold an entire days worth of food for the horses so now on those really icy, cold days I only have to do it once. I feel like some kind of grassy Santa Claus heading out there with 25 lbs of hay slung over my back in a white sack and, of course, the horses are super excited to see me (ok they probably are really only excited for the food, but I pretend it's for me). This week was your typical January weather pattern, except in October! At least the rain was no where near as much as the weathermen predicted it would be. Really cold, windy, wet weather is super bad for the chickens. Their coop is well protected from wind, but water can get in especially if it pours, which let's face it is 9 out of 10 times what happens in Texas. I was grateful it was just really cold and drizzly. It could have been much worse.

The llamas next door just had two cute babies.

I spent the time indoors making cinnamon rolls

They turned out pretty good, but took forever.

Maisy spent the cold weather cuddling with everyone!

The new hay net is not only huge, but also has smaller holes so it should really slow the horses down.

Except for the couple hours a day that we had to go outside, we mostly just stayed indoors. We went to the dentist finally. I made sure we had the first appointments of the day. A family of 5 going to the dentist at the same time takes just as long as you would think. Plus A needed to get molds done (which turned into a complete fiasco thanks to the new hygienist and really made A mad). She needed a nightguard plus a new retainer. She literally ground a hole in her current retainer. Needless to say between this and the car repairs we finally had done, this was a very expensive weekend. However, next week is suppose to be back to normal so we look forward to being able to go outside again and enjoy the weather.

T spent his time drawing. This is all free hand. He pauses a show on what he wants to draw and then  draws it.
