This Is Why I Don't Have a Goat......

(Moonbeam)
The arctic cold front seems to have found us so Moonbeam, Kitara, and Sweetheart have been moved into the mudroom. Normally they wander the yard free during the day and we pen them up at night in a sheltered horse stall beside the barn. But a couple of times each year when we get weather like this we bring them in the house (much to their delight). In their minds they are supposed to live inside with us all of the time and they spend many an hour standing at the sliding glass door just waiting for someone to come along and open it. Mattie, our chocolate lab, is happy that we don't allow that because she's terrified of them and has to run through the mudroom and past them to get outside.


From weather.com:
".....VISIBILITIES WILL BECOME POOR WITH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES. THOSE VENTURING OUTDOORS MAY BECOME LOST OR DISORIENTED SO PERSONS IN THE WARNING AREA ARE ADVISED TO STAY INDOORS. THOSE WITH VULNERABLE LIVESTOCK SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE BITTER COLD."

(Kitara and the dryer. We won't be doing a laundry for a couple of days.)


(Sweetheart....we didn't name him!)

This is Star Thrower. He normally lives outside too. To read what happened the last time he was allowed inside click here.

(Looking out my studio window toward Larry's studio and the barn.)

I hope you are all warm and snuggly and enjoying your weekend!
