Welcome to the New Year! I cannot wait until temperatures in this new year rise above freezing. Life on the farm gets tough: keeping the greenhouse going, feeding and watering the horses, cows, and dogs. On these frigid days, water is not such a simple thing, hoses don’t work and bowls and tanks freeze solid. Water must be delivered several times each day to insure everyone gets enough.
I keep telling myself: this is a Southern state, it has to get warm sometime soon? But I hear on the radio that it is cold almost everywhere, and the truth be told we are not near as cold as some places. All I know for sure is that every thing here is frozen and has been for days. We keep saying all this freezing is good for cleaning out insect and disease pest; they must be dead by now and we are ready for some more moderate weather
