Cold out there.

I don't know if I mentioned, or knew, at the last post, but it's 10 F out there.  There was no wind, so it wasn't the absolute worst.  But it gets to ya.  Sam wouldn't go out with me.  I didn't blame her.

Strangely, the fresh water in the duck pond didn't freeze thickly.  Oh, it was this cold last night too, so... yea... strange.  I had worries I would need to get the ice out, whole, then refill.  I was almost certain it would be frozen solid.  I did break the ice open, then let out the non-fliers.  Feeding them after that.  On to rabbits.  All needed food.  So it was.  As well, water had to be refreshed.  They drink a lot less than they did initially.  Feed is give or take.  I am trying to feed them just once a day, now.  Though, if I check, and the food is all gone... for now... I am adding some more.  I need to sort out what I should be feeding them.  They are going through way too much food.  Or I need to find another source of less expensive feed.

The cold and minor efforts, plus the shower and trim before, took the wind out of me.  A bit of a rest, then I am hoping to add the latches.  As well, possibly, adding the hay feeders then filling them.  A break after that, then back to domestics.  A bit of laundry, starting up dishes... setting the remnants to a rinse, then cleaning counters and etc.  Flat surfaces.

So very tired.  The cold does that, I think.  Being out in it, even if otherwise mild, saps strength.  I slept twelve hours last night.  It was enough, but seems needed.  I may nap yet today as well.  Later.
