We have two heaters going right now...trying to keep the water lines from freezing up too. My barn was built for the warmer weather that's for sure. I heard it's been 10 years or so since it's been this cold here.

You must learn to speak Canadian. "Yeah, but it's a dry cold"!
No baths around here although it is a balmy 42 F. A virtual chinook!
Vin Diesel is a dirty boy for a couple more months. Treated to windshield and headlight washes only!

Like I said to RedCat, Vin is really quite pampered as he is almost always washed with pure rain water!

I though about moving to Texas for a moment once. A very brief moment. Hasn't happened again thankfully.

If you live in the barn, Sandy . . .

Then the horses should be able to live in the house.

speaking of cold, my sister sanpped this of my mother's half acre stock pond in Atlanta, Texas. Cracker, my mom's German Shepard chased the poor thing on to the ice, it rolled around awhile before it got back up on its feet.
