knowing that you have enough hay.
1 round bale of alicia cow hay from George for $20 (as a back up to our own, since we had to start feeding hay 2-3 weeks earlier this year).

Damn you, global warming!
We had 26F @ 7am. It's the third time we had temperature below freezing this winter and it starts to get on my nerves - that's not what Dec should be like in FL! Last year, which was the coldest winter on the record BTW, people (OK, Canadians) were still swimming in their pools in Dec!
Leaves on a young mulberry tree were all shriveled this morning despite the tarp covering and uncovered fig tree suffered some damage too. Oh well - hopefully, it's just the leaves. Surprisingly, the snap peas (uncovered) seem unaffected.
Sheep have to wait for the water facet to unfreeze before they can get their water but otherwise don't seem to be bothered by the cold, even the youngest lamb who is only 6 days old. Chickens stay in the shadow during the day, so I guess 50F is still too hot for them.
Upd: lots of damage to new growth on lemon, tomatoes (very well covered with huge green tomatoes on them) are probably dead
