What did I do today? I shoveled SNOW!! Like six inches of it!
On Monday it was a sweltering 90 degrees all day. On Monday night it was still 70 degrees when we went to bed at like 11:00. By 4:00 Tuesday morning it was 30 degrees, raining and spitting snow. A 60-degree drop in about 10 hours! By 9:00 Tuesday morning it was snowing heavily. It snowed heavily all day but nothing stuck because the ground was so warm. Then it snowed during the night and we woke up to this!
It is still snowing. I've had my wood stove going since yesterday morning. The sheds are bedded down deep and everyone is getting a lot of hay to get them past this cold snap. Hopefully we don't see any sickness come from it. I was planning to shave and bathe all the goats this week for the show in Greeley on Saturday/Sunday, but it looks like they'll be showing shaggy this year.
