and daylight it seems, because everytime I think of the camera, it's too dark to take pictures, so once again, they will come later. Today became another snow day from work and I finally got back at old man winter, when I went to pick up the tractor and my new snowblower! ;-D While it was in there, they fixed a couple things too... no charge, since they should have been working when I bought the tractor (block heater is a good thing in this climate). I have to say, the guys at the farm dealership in town are pretty good.
Anyway last night, I woke up at midnight, with only one thought racing through my head... (I find this happens for a lot of things, especially stuff I haven't found a solution for) the horses must go in the barn tomorrow or today since it's was after midnight, whatever.... Until now, they've been outside, despite/inspite of the weather.. but last night I couldn't go back to sleep until I came up with a solution. Thankfully I had it figured out by 2 and managed a few more hours sleep... otherwise I'd be really bagged instead of just bagged. So after blowing out the driveways (and man does that thing ever shoot snow!) Maggie and I built (I dragged her into my insanity this time too) temporary stall partitions. This is the first temporary construction I've done to date on this project... I really hate temporary... it tends to become permanent, so I made sure it was something I would have to tear down later... preferably sooner.
At 5:00pm today, unceremoniuosly by the weak glow of the single solar light I managed to get installed (and because the spotlight I had hooked up on the generator decided now of all times to burn out), Pearl became the first horse to go in the barn... and she promptly showed her appreciation for all the hard work ... by crapping on the floor.
