More ice is predicted for tonight although the latest forecast calls for warmer air and rain instead of ice. A strong east wind is unfortunate because our cow barn and the neighbors are open to the east, and a cold draft is no fun at this time of year!
Our neighbors called about returning home from their trip. They are delayed so we might chore over there one more time.
I guess the most tiresome part was carrying water. We broke the hydrant in the duck house and had to turn that water line off. The larger group of layers was farthest from the house. I could have used cold water from the cow barn but had to walk up and over a very steep barn hill. Matter of fact the day before yesterday I slipped on the ice and went down the barn hill like a human toboggan. Not only was I embarrassed but was afraid I sprained my wrist. But, no, it's OK.
Odds are -- given that the biggest tractor is fuelled up and the generator is in good repair -- we most likely won't get the bad weather that's forecast.
