I hope everyone is staying warm on this frozen tundra type day. Here at the Wenzel's we woke up to frozen pipes. Fortunately for us nothing burst, but a couple hours later our pipes were thawed and our landlord was happy we called first thing. Just in case you feel you need photo evidence of our morning adventure...
Moving on. In preparation of the cold snap, we put down our barn door for the sheep and the goat. They all agreed that this was not a favorable move. The sheep wouldn't come back in for a little while, leery of how this narrower opening would affect their escape from the goat. Once they realized that it was okay, there seemed to be no more issues. Here they are enjoying their oats.
The only really downside to all this cold is that if I am not sitting out there watching the chickens, I never get to the eggs fast enough and they all freeze. We haven't gotten any eggs for two days now. Not that we're running out by any means. Just an FYI, if you want fresh eggs, $2.50 a dozen, mixed between medium and large.
Nothing much has been going on here. We just "keep on, keepin on". I've been going to Weight Watchers like usual. The week before last I watched every single point and was lost 2.4 pounds. I worked out everyday that week for at least a half an hour. This week, I lost some of my motivation and ate like I was a skinny girl who lives in France. I ate anything and everything I wanted with little regard for my point limitations and gained 1.6 pounds. This is a minor setback, but nothing that will detour me from my goals. I have managed to find two, TWO, fabulous women who have agreed to run with me and train ourselves for a half marathon. I am so excited for this. My original running buddy was my sister...but she went gimp on me and is not allowed to run again, ever. It's okay though, we can still cheer each other on while I run and she walks.
In the end, this will be a year to remember and I am so excited to share this all with you.
See you next time Sheepies!
