cold = understatement

+ i'm ready for spring. >.< it's -13 this morning, which makes farm chores less than enjoyable. part of the suck comes from not being able to just sit and cuddle chickens  and horses — that's one of the perks of having creatures and to not do it? no. fun. 

it's going to warm up in the next few days, so all we need to do is keep creatures from getting frostbite or worse until then. it can be done! 

+ at least we're in the 20s on thursday, which is when our farrier and vet are coming  almost on top of each other (hahaha....ahem)....i mean ARRIVING AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME for trims and teeth floating (and vaccine info....and setting up hock injections for bluebelle). if it was still in the negatives, things might get canceled, so a balmy 21 degrees f should workout just fine. whew. 

+ today i'm going to make a few loaves of bread — one for us and one for our friends. i haven't got to bake in a while, so i'm looking forward to it! i roasted a head of garlic last night, so will use that in ours and i'll just do a normal one with no add-ins for friends. i also want to make some for the farrier and vet, but that can be done tomorrow. 

my house is going to smell so good, y'all. 

+ beyond baking, i need to just park myself and get some work done on planning out the next few months. appointments have been made, but i haven't written them on the family calendar — so we're constantly in a state of "what's going on later today" when "later today" is like....12 minutes away.
