Blankets

Double-blanketed

Double-blanketed

The March lamb not withstanding, Monday and Tuesday were bitterly cold days. A wind sweeping down from the north caused the temperature with windchill to drop below -30C again. Poor Mousie and Czarina, who have been fine for several weeks, were both shivering with cold on Monday morning. Time to dig the second blanket out again! They were both double-blanketed and the Donkey, Louie, had his little blanket put back in place. Wednesday, however, it warmed up to a balmy -4C and the wind had dropped. Warmer temperatures are predicted for the rest of the week. So the top blankets came off again.
