Oh, it's not so terrible. It's a bit startling, but I don't mind. If I had my way I think I'd take this sudden cold any day compared to a long build-up of chilly gray weather. Until yesterday afternoon we have the loveliest Indian summer you could ask for. We could wear t-shirts, play outside, let the goats graze, and no heating bills. Then suddenly, BOOM! Winter is here. I can live with that. 
It was 15 degrees this morning, so today I broke ice on water troughs and split firewood. I've got a quart of cream out to thaw on the countertop so tomorrow I can make butter. Tonight we're having hot potato soup--a wonderful use for all this goat milk. I've got two ladies who I still milk once a day and between the two of them I get about three quarts for me and one for Daisy's breakfast. Yesterday I moved the stanchion into the basement so I can milk in comfort near the wood stove while the snow flies. Do you think my goats and me might be a tad bit spoiled?
