-19 makes for a cold night in the barn.
 I was so cold, and I knew once my feet all of sudden felt warm or so numb and that I couldn’t feel them anymore it was time to get into the house and warm up.

 Man, way to cold for lambs.

At Midnight I was cutting up sweatpants trying to make little lamb coats then I used binder twine to tie up around their waste.
 It worked.

For next year we must plan for later in the season it is just to cold and worry for February. With all the new sheep this year it will be just messy. With last nights lambing we now have a lull until the next session. Since the sheep were not bred here I just have to keep watch to see how things are getting along.

I can not believe it is nearly the end of February. 
It truly has flown by.

Our daughter is starting to heal up now from her surgery, it sure took a lot out of her. It was unnerving an emergency ambulance ride for bleeding and a found blood clot. Once they dealt with the clot she started to heal better. It is hard to watch someone go through something and really not be able to help them other than to be there.

Really other than keeping the fire going, lambing and feeding not a whole lot is new. Spring is inching closer each day and I am for sure loving the longer days.
I hope each of you are doing well. I hope you are handling the ice, cold and snow. Enjoy the calmer days before the Spring cleaning begins because we all know what is under that snow and ice ~ mess and pine needles just waiting for us.

I still do not have the new computer well I have a whole new one now. Unfortunately, they only gave me half of it this time. I have been waiting the whole week for them to UPS it to me.
Umm ~ Kamloops isn’t very far away. I am sure I could have walked there quicker.
 It is seriously the longest most annoying deal I have had to deal with in a long time.
