It's still really cold here in Michigan. It doesn't seem to be affecting any of the animals though. Our adult nubian goat, Nutmeg, managed to squeeze herself into the babies dog cage last night to get under the heat lamp! That was a funny sight this morning! Jack Frost visited during night. All the horses had frost on their noses this morning. I got some good pictures of the trees, barbed wire, fence posts and icicles this morning. They were quite a sight with the sun shining.
Since it's been so cold I've been spending most of my time in the house quilting. I finished my first quilt today. It's a baby quilt made with brown calico and blue jean squares. I've got a white and blue star baby quilt, 9 block and full size country quilt started. That keeps me busy, though my fingers are sore from all the stitching.
We closed out an auction on Thursday. Now we have to try to get another one ready by the end of the month. It'll be a busy couple weeks for sure.
Hattie's buckling, Wiggles or Rodeo, is sold. He'll be leaving either Thursday or Friday this week. Those babies have been eating alot of milk. The buck has the biggest appetite so it'll help to get him gone. Hadiyyah is turning out to be a trouble maker....just like her mother! She has figured out a dozed different ways to get out of her pen and brother and sister follow! She is so energetic! Minnah is pretty quiet. She is content to mind her own business and do a few little jumps on the boxes we have set up for them.
Hopefully it warms up soon. Grandpa has all kinds of little lambs running around out in the open. They don't seem affected by the cold.
So stay warm and curl up with a good book and a homemade quilt!
