Asher the pony and the very blustery day
Nov. 14th, 2021 08:16 pmAnother gray day, thermometer stuck at 35°F most of the day, then started going down as the winds increased. Asher is usually pretty cooperative, and has been near perfect about putting the blanket on in the morning and taking it off when he comes indoors in the afternoon, so that's good. I am learning to perform the necessary tasks more quickly too, which helps.
Archie is no longer suspicious of Asher because he is dressed funny. The two of them were playing normally this afternoon, much as if they were a lot younger than they are. Though Archie tried a couple of times to pull the blanket off during the first two days, he leaves it alone now. Asher steps up to me and waits for me to put it on him in the morning, so he seems to appreciate what it does for him.
In other seasonal news, the cuttings I took from yard annuals have sprouted roots and I should be able to pot them up in the next few days. Tonight is supposed to be the coldest yet, well below freezing and with some sort of precipitation. Whether this will be snow, freezing rain, or sleet seems unclear.
There are reports of a "turkey shortage" appearing in the media. Oh noes! We might have to eat chicken, or even California eggplants on Thanksgiving? I'm not worried about it. We are planning to go to Gary's brother's place in Wisconsin for that day anyway. But I checked, and I do still have a turkey in the deep freeze here. Takes three days to thaw one in the fridge, but there's time if plans change.
