19 Degree Weather is for the Birds

Last Sunday the Replacements were feeling adventurous and came out to the barnyard while I was cleaning out the wood boiler. I was shocked to see them out and about as the temperature was 19 degrees.


As a breed, the Golden Buffs seem to be the most curious and least fearful.


Their outing was cut short when the local bald eagle started circling. They high-tailed it back into the barn. (Unfortunately I didn't get a pick of the eagle).

Combining

Last weekend I got a chance to drive the neighbor's combine. It was very challenging driving a big, roaring (and somewhat cumbersome) machine through the rows of corn. I don't think I'll be doing it again any time soon, but am glad I gave it a try!
