Not up North any more

So I have come to three realizations. 1- I REALLY am blonde. 2. Your brain leaves during pregnancy and never returns. 3. I have forgotten most of what I knew about living in cold temperatures. I moved South for a REASON.

For the last two days, it's been pretty cold. Yesterday I fed and it was 20 degrees, wind chill of 11. (It was 59 the day before.) This morning, it was 16 when I left the house with the wind chill in the single digits.

With Ty out of town, it's up to me to do chores. Scary? Quite possibly. Because I have been feeding, I pull around to the front of the barn at night so Ryndon won't wake up. Well, I pull around to the barn and am met with the following....

I had forgotten to turn off the water. OOPS. So, the grass was frozen and water was spraying out in all directions. Before I got it turned off, I was so nicely greeted with a FREEZING shower.

So unlike my last major OOPS moment (dropped dental floss down a flushing toilet), I chose to immediately fess up to my husband on what I had done. Helps that he's a couple thousand miles away. :-) Unfortunately, he won't be home for four more days... I just hope I don't have to haul water for the horses and that the water line isn't broken. Maybe I just shouldn't play with water any more. I should just play with fire....
