[CntryBoy777]

Good thing ya was surrounded by such Warmth on such a Chilly day there.....
Suppose to start warming up here this wknd, with rain coming in Sun evening into Mon....guess the ducks will be glad to get their pool back and Gabbie won't be crunching on froze chicken poop....

If that sounds looney, there are a bunch of that on this forum.

I think I know what you mean though as I'm seeing something special with my Akbash.

@CntryBoy777 I just stepped outside- had my coat on and my flannel lined jeans, no bibs because I was just going out for under a minute.


Came in and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my jeans are so cold!
Very windy here, very cold.
Had to wrap the bunny hutches (GW did) earlier.

Wow is it cold out.

Cannot imagine not having farm bibs. Anyone that doesn't have some... do yourself a favor- get them.
Layering clothes is not the same.
People are shocked once they get them and realize what a difference it makes. You will have them for years.
I look back before I had them and wonder how on earth I didn't freeze to death. Especially during February kidding. UGH

If I had to be out for any length of time, I'd sure have some too...but, I just grin and bear it for the short while I'm out. I might have to get Joyce some tho....she'd probably sleep in them too. She is sooo cold-natured ya would never think she was from Michigan. I'll look next time I get feed and see what they have at the CoOp in her size.....

You know I never would have gotten anything like this for myself.
But this is what happened...
A client that became a friend knew I am a cold weather wimp and would be sleeping in barns freezing waiting on kids.
One year with several all night phone calls (literally from 1am til 4 am and another time all night) walking through some kidding issues etc and helping via phone and video her and her husband took me out and we had dinner and a fun night out... she gave me a big gift wrapped box.
In it were my rose colored bibs!

One of the greatest gifts ever.
We truly have the best clients- we are so blessed by so many.

Long story short- it really changed so much for me. It may sound odd, but my clothes underneath stay clean, I stay warm and really do not ever get cold in them.
(of course good Muck boots are a necessity too!)
I was so blessed by that and it made such a difference that this year we chose to do the same for someone else. God is always good!
All I can say is they came right on time before this nasty weather, she cannot believe the difference. She called this morning (again) and said "I love my bibs!"

The carhartt brand is pricey- I have the Berne brand- equally as good but less expensive. Get them on sale @CntryBoy777 for your wife and you won't regret it!
She'll have them for years. I live in mine all winter.

It's too hot here for those kind of bibs.

 

[Hens and Roos]

DH has a set of Walls(bibs and coat) that he wears when doing snow removal

 

[Wehner Homestead]

I live in my Carhartts!! I don't own another coat. I have a barn coat and a good coat. When I was pregnant during the winter, I stole one of my husband's because it fit around my belly!

I have name brand now but they were bought on sale. I've had Berne and like it just as well.

My kids even wear their little versions! Very cute!

We all love all our dogs, but here comes that one who steals your heart and seems to be ingrained in every cell in your body. Looney? I call it Blessed.

My son visited us at Christmas. He brought me his old Carhartts overalls. I put them over my flannel lined jeans and stayed toasty warm. I love them! He is a crane operator and works all over the country. This year he is in Deep South Texas, almost to Brownsville. Sure beats the winter he spent in Iowa! LOL
