It's very cold and very dark tonight, but it's time to care for the animals.
I go out to the 140 year barn and
FLIP ON OUR NEWLY INSTALLED ELECTIRC LIGHTS!.
For the first time in 4 years - no flashlights or lanterns - no extensions cords, including the occasional shock. ;(
Gather the eggs in a jiffy, including the ones one floor - check on the expecting ewes - watch the cats run around.
We have got motion activated floodlights, switched flood lights, upstairs lights and plenty of outlets, for heat lamps and deicers.
I could almost imagine how the old farmers felt, when the REA came through, giving those dark barns light for the first time.
Talk about blessed
