Yesterday was a long day!!! We were up really early.......and on the go. Me & all 6 kids were together for awhile yesterday morning since school was delayed. It was then late when Deke finally got in last night from working on the farm. (And I hate cooking supper & eating really late too!) This cold winter weather is getting us all down! It is so hard on those that have to work out in & it is brutal for the poor animals too.
Speaking of cold & animals I want to share this.......my heart was very sad last night when Deke said he heard on the radio how 40 head of cattle in Iowa were found dead due to weather & neglect. They starved & froze to death. Oh my gosh!! I know how hard it is to have to work out in the cold. And I know how much extra work it is to have to do this or that to get something done with this weather, when that is normally not that difficult. Maybe that farmer couldn't get to his cattle due to the bad roads, piles of snow, maybe he didn't have any extra bales of hay to feed them? Whatever the reason is- it still just breaks my heart for those poor animals & I can't believe that something somehow couldn't have been done for them. They should not have died. And then this makes me think of the many poor people all over that don't have food, clothing & someone to care for them too. It sure makes me think about things & count my blessings- big and small!
This morning we'll be up bright & early again. I want to hurry & walk & Deke is off to chore. As Nathan & Sarah will be bringing their kids at 7- they are leaving on a trip to Wisconsin to snowmobile. So we will have their kids for the next few days. Deke will come back in & stay here with Masen & Ainslee while I go to town to get the Seeley boys & take Brayden, Brody & Drake to school & come back out home with Trey to spend my day with the 3 little ones.
The maintainer finally got over our road late yesterday!!! Woo Hoo!! The snow drifts hopefully won't drift again over night. The ice is still there- so they are still super slick! HOPEFULLY it warms up some & melts some of the ice before we get the next round of predicted snow.
Gotta run.......I hope you have a GREAT Valentines Day!!
Happy Stamping!
