Winter Thoughts

While watering the animals on this lovely, cold, windy morning I had some thoughts.
  • How did I forget how much I love (please note the sarcasm) being a zookeeper in winter? The chicken waterers are thawing in the bathtub as I write this.
  • I never really appreciated that my dad would feed and water our pigs in the mornings in the winter. After hauling water to the pigs I see how fortunate I was.
  • My "water proof" gloves are not.
  • Hopefully my legs and face will thaw out by lunch.

I don't think any of us actually appreciated that he fed and watered the pigs in the mornings. Maybe you need a hot toddy to warm up!

Probably need one--gotta drive later though so I better pass.
