Outdoor temperature 21 degrees, wind speed 30 miles an hour equals frozen fingers, nose, cheeks and toes. At first each time a gust of wind would slam into the house the dogs would bark but by morning either they got use to the noise or their hearing is going. The horses are going through huge amounts of hay trying to keep warm. And this is March 19th!
Yesterday Mika got out at Middle Grove. Poor Mika was walking up and down the fenceline trying to get back in with the others but the people that showed up were kind of afraid of such a big horse and called the police. When Mike arrived he told the bystanders, this is the best horse out here, took off his belt, looped it around Mika's neck and walked him through the gate. Turns out a lady from the area was coming each day to feed the horses treats, one of the fence posts had rotted and fell as Mika was reaching over. He stepped over the knee high wire but couldn't figure out how to step back in. Mike temporarily fixed the fence and will head out there today for a more permanent fix. He moved 4 bales in and a salt block WAY a way from the fence.
Mom and Karin's night wasn't very relaxing. Mom's IV machine wasn't working properly and the alarm kept sounding waking them numerous times. One doesn't go to the hospital to catch up on sleep. Her hearing aid has vanished off of the stand. Hope Karin can find it.
