Coffee anyone ?

Coffee is on.
DH brought in some firewood yesterday and we got groceries. Need to split more and bring hay home. Oh clean rabbit cages. Looks like temps won't be as bad as it could be, highs in the teens now vs single digits. Today it'll get above 20.

Here it's cold, hovering at freezing +/-. We have, rain, rain and more rain. If it were snow, there would be several inches! As it is, the ground just can't absorb more. All over, the roadside ditches are overflowing. Farmer field look like lakes with rows of stubble. And it's a wet cold out there. Sure goes thru you! All that and it's still better than a few feet of snow and temps in teens or less!!!

Having nice hot coffee...and cake. Yeah, did that cake thing last night while meatloaf cooked. Need to get out there in the mud and do chores.

Thanks for the coffee! It is 27 here, one source says high of 30, another says high of 34. It's just danged cold. Like you say @Mini Horses its wet cold and with wind, it goes right through you. I have flannel lined blue jeans that are awesome for bad weather. I put insulated Carhart overalls over them and I stay warm. I layer up with a thermal shirt, sweat shirt, sweat hoodie and Carhart coat.

@Mini Horses did you make that pound cake?

Baby lambs are fed, on second cup of coffee. I think I'll fix bacon and eggs this morning after I suit up and do chores. It must be cold, the horses aren't waiting on me at the gate to come feed them. They are staying in their barn.

I'm going to make home made chili today with Fritos, grated cheese and chopped green onions on top. Yummy!

Greetings from the north pole, at least from an unwilling eskimo! It is 18 here right now and icy. My horses didn't recognize me when I went out this morning, except for the smart mare who was nonchalant. All of the rest stayed away until I left. I wasn't cold with 7 layers of jackets though!

I just came in and peeled off layers of clothing. DH put bacon in the oven, breakfast is a little late. LOL He kept pots of boiling water on the stove while I thawed out water buckets and broke ice. Thawed out the car, going to town. Supposed to snow tomorrow, Monday and Wednesday. Phooey on this stuff!

Thanks for the coffee PA. On my first cup. Lambs had their bottle. Trip and Carson were on their beds on the porch, so I let them in. It sleeted last night. More ice, just what we needed.

At the moment, no rain but fog. Rain will be back in a few hours. . Still hovering at the freeze number -- not as bad as many of you. Coffee is ready, help yourself.

Went to sleep in my recliner last night and woke at 3:30ish. . Stiff but...

Still raining here and under flood watch, but can't complain..we have no ice or snow

 

[Mini Horses]

Well, we can both complain!! I'm glad no ice or snow -- makes the mud seem ok.

Our rivers are way up. Looks like rain every day this week at some time during the 24 hrs. I swear, saw some ducks swimming along in the ditches yesterday when I was out. They were having fun. Soon we will be able to fish in some of these ditches!

Just hope no heavy winds ride in on a front. So wet that I'd be afraid to even lean on a tree, fearing it would fall.
