Freezing Cold Work

Posted on October 29, 2019October 29, 2019

The cows they brought from the Mesa Pasture had to be sorted today. That put Vernon on the four wheeler and Daniel and Brandon on horseback. Me? I drove my Durango and was told just to make sure they went in the corral! I could handle that!

It was cold. Fourteen degrees when I left the house. I had warm tights, flannel lined jeans, and my Carhartt coveralls on… wool socks, small gloves inside my wool gloves, a cowboy scarf, warm hat… long sleeve t-shirt, sweatshirt, and Carhartt heavy coat. I waddled like a penguin and hoped if I fell, I had enough clothing on me to pad my fall.

The cold and snow does make for pretty photos…

I gotta admit it. I’m glad I wasn’t on horseback!

Daniel sent me this photo. Doesn’t this just say FREEZING COLD WORK to you?

      No. Being a girl under three bulky layers is BAD. Or should I say coffee is bad? Just the idea of having to undo all that… well, you know where I’m going with this… 😉

    A ranchers life is not all romantic. Poor guys. Just think, spring is on it’s way.

      Definitely NOT romantic on days like this! I sure hope it warms back up just a tad before spring, though!
