31° right now. still a little breezy so feels colder. All the goats pigged out as usual on their pellets but weren't all that eager for their hay this morning. Made up of flakes from the center of the bale they've been eating on for several days. Oh well... it's out there for them when they decide they want it. Still a lot of left knee pain but anticipate getting back to work around lunch time when it warms up a bit.

Hope it warms up for ya. It's rainy and 37 here. A lot warmer than Thanksgiving day and Black Friday.

The cold seems to make any aches just that much worse.

x2. "Baby It's Cold Outside" takes on a whole different meaning when you've got joint or muscle issues to take into consideration.

YEP. Aging does this. It's why we are called "tough". I wear more long johns in a week than I did in the first 30 years of life.

No no, we need "progress" pictures too!

Skip the long johns, get some flannel lined blue jeans and go over them with Carhartt insulated coveralls.

EXACTLY what I do! Those Carhartts are really good.

On really cold days (in the teen or single digit temp) I'll wear my snow bib and snowmobile jacket. Those keep me very warm and by the time I walk back to the house I'm usually sweating.

I have & wear some snow ski bibs. Lightweight, extremely warm! Love mine. Will buy more If I ever find any more at 2nd hand (where I got these).

Hard to find lined jeans locally. JJ Bean has but, $$. May have to break down & spend. Actually I like the tight long johns...tight to my skin. Seems to be a better heat retention for me.

Geesh -- we are all trying to keep warm and what we WANT is an update from LS. Hope your hands and knees are finding some relief right now. That got to be a hard row to how with swollen, painful, stiff joints that need to function.

How are the hens doing for you?
