Well today was one of the coldest days for a while reaching close to -50. But when you live on a farm and are a farm girl with a cow, you can't let that cold weather stop you! I was inside with my sweatpants, fur jacket, and slippers on when Logan called me and told me to bring out hot water because the water tank was frozen. So I go change into long johns, jeans, sweatshirts, hat, gloves, boots and my coat, fill a few water jugs up and walk outside to the water tank. I stand out there while Logan pours the water on the frozen heater. The first jug didn't work, so I give him the second jug and walk back to the house to fill up a few more jugs. Walk back out, deliver them, and repeat. This went on until FINALLY it cracked and the water started running again!
I guess I am now a hired woman because I have my own cow now and I have to keep her happy! She was out there waiting for the water to be unfrozen so she could have a drink! I just have to tough the cold for Pinkie!
Farm Girl Tip # 64: If you ever get your own cow with pink ear tags, just remember that you will have to go out when it is -50 to unfreeze the water tanks!
