Wind

Super windy today. Went out to do chores and had my breath taken away a couple of times. Hate when the wind is that strong. Flower and Queen were getting the brunt of this wind so I opened the pen gate and they walked right into the barn. At least now Flower will have a dry, non-windy place to lie down for a little while.

Bo came over when I was getting the mare their food. I promised him that if the wind is still blowing like this tonight for evening chores, that I will put him in the barn for the night too. I need to keep a close eye on him and Rain to make sure that the wind doesn't bother them.

Rain was standing down in the new leanto yesterday to get away from the wind. Today he was up by the bar away from the wind. I would put a blanket on him but he didn't seem cold. Flower managed to pull her blanket off sometime between last evening check and this morning when I peeked out the window. I didn't notice any tears so I'm guessing she slipped it over her head. The only thing I dont' like about that blanket is that there's something goofy with the leg straps so I don't have them on.

We are supposed to be in a Winter Weather Warning until 6pm on Wednesday. I sure hope the weatherman is wrong. Apparently winter decided to join us at the end of February instead of December and January. I sure hope winter doesn't last long.
