Below Zero More Snow Coming

It was below zero again this morning and tomorrow is suppose to be -4 when we wake up. The high is only predicted to be 4 at least that is a positive 4 and not negative.
Old man winter just will not let go of his grip for central Illinois.
We announced that Valiant will not be going to the fair this year.  He just didn't make the cut.
I really didn't think it would matter but have been getting comments and emails asking "Why not?"
The truth of the matter is Valiant rubbed a big part of his mane off this winter and it looks raggedy. This will be the first year he has missed and no we are not going to change our mind and bring him. We don't have the trailer space and we only have 10 stalls. Speaking of stalls we got our stall assignments for the fair today. We will be in aisle C in barn 14 so please feel free to stop in for piping hot popcorn, sweet fluffy cotton candy and your Friesian fix.
The new trailer was swept out then Karin helped move 4 of the mats into it. We will still need Mark to cut and fit them but the mats work well. These were purchased at TSC when the stall barn was built. Someday I'll need to replace the mats I'm using for the trailer for the stall we borrowed them out of.
Vaulting practice was held first this afternoon with Friesian practice to follow. They needed help with the Friesian practice so I willingly went to help and by the time we finished it was already 6:30 pm too late to go to church. Mark and I listened on-line.
Lily was tested tonight as she had some waxing on her teats but she is only testing at 150. Her udder is so tight and full I will be surprised if she doesn't deliver this weekend.
