On Tuesday, it was -18°C. Yesterday, it warmed up to -10°C, and today it is above freezing, a balmy 3°C. It is supposed to rain later in the day, but at the moment, the sun is shining. I left tender Mousie’s blanket on, just in case it got wet, but Czarina was pleased to go naked for the first time in weeks. The little boys, Teddy and Louis, have dense, fuzzy coats, and haven’t worn blankets this winter. Since they are in the barn every night, they are safe from the worst winter weather.
The warm weather is supposed to continue into tomorrow. Showers are expected to continue overnight and into tomorrow, with colder air returning by Saturday. It’s likely to get messy, but hopefully, a bit of our snow will be washed away before we settle in for the last few weeks of winter. Like the horses, I’m happy to enjoy a few days of warmth.
