Awareness of the outside world. Forbes: Do Boycotts Work? As Target’s Traffic Declines, Tesla And Others See Consumer Shifts, Melville, Mar 17, 2025.

Last Thursday night was below freezing, once again.
Blankets. Drain the barn pipes and hoses. Hot water for drinks.
Standard freeze protocol. Truthfully we blanket and serve hot water on chilly nights anyway. Truthfully truthfully, they get silver tea every night, even in summer. They like it and we like to see them drink. But I digress.
Temps dipped below freezing for a few hours, so we did not have to break out the deep freeze protocol, i.e. completely draining the water system, wrapping the faucet, and double blanketing the horses. This was warmer, relatively, so less stress.
We’re all good and done with this for a while. Cross fingers.
One upside to cold weather is hot chocolate.
Onwards!

Rodney and Milton get such good care. they are fortunate. Unfortunately, I forgot, and left a small plant out doors — it spends of its life outdoors on patio, and has for almost five years — and this time, it didn’t handle the cold very well. I’m hoping it will “spring back”. MM
Leafy good wishes to plant.
