Winter is coming!

We have had an exceptionally warm October this year. We have become quite spoiled as far as weather goes. This week has been cooler and more like a normal fall. Tonight it's supposed to get down into the 20s. My daughter was complaining that it's cold and I reminded her that this is actually very warm for us for this time of year. 50s and 30s are pretty mild.
We had to drain the hose at the barn so it won't freeze tonight and we have to remember to plug in the tank heater so the water tank doesn't freeze and the horses (and kitties) have water to drink. The horses are getting pretty fuzzy so they are getting ready for winter too. It's windy today and cloudy. Yesterday was windy also and Cass was acting pretty squirelly. Erica ran her around the pen playing with her and I think they both had a good time.

I have been just putting the bute on Midnight's grain and then pouring extra molasses on that and mixing it in with the grain, trying to leave it near the top so he'll eat it first and it's been working so far. He seems to be doing pretty good. He's more willing to trot now and seems to be moving pretty well. I'm hoping he heals completely.

Today I'm thankful for coffee and furnaces.
