Jake and I cleaned two of the three stalls today, and it was quite a challenge because the poop was frozen to the barn floors. But, we got it done. I pulled Zazu's blanket off of her to dry it out- forecast is -10° tonight - and when I went outside to put the horses in their stalls, wouldn't you know that Zazu was rolling in the snow - in her newly dried blanket. Ah Zazu. No time now to dry it again. I brushed off as much of the snow as I could and put both horses in their stalls. I gave them extra hay tonight due to the cold and said goodnight.

Took this picture today, about a half mile down the road from my house. The lake is frozen. Lake Champlain is said to be the "sixth great lake". I didn't believe that this huge body of water would actually freeze until I saw it happen. Amazing. I love nature.
