It’s that time of year when time goes slow and winter looks like it will never end.  The only good thing is that the days are getting longer.  We can water the cows in daylight finally.  Still need a flashlight because it’s usually getting dark by the time we are done.  The cold is still holding on, but there is some relief in site for mid-February.  Hoping that this is the last week of below zero lows.  The cows are doing quite well, and we can’t believe how big the calves have gotten!  We give them protein blocks along with hay to be sure they are able to tolerate the extreme weather conditions.  Lucky we have the cattle shed so they can get in out of the wind.  A last minute trip to Los Angeles at the end of January was a nice surprise!  I went with our son Dusty to visit my niece and family for a long weekend.  Craig stayed home with the cows…  But, we had a great time- flew out of Minneapolis non-stop to LAX.  It was so nice to feel the warm sunshine and 75 degree temps!  And now, back home to reality…
