with temps nearing 40 (!!!) today, my thoughts wander north to our land/farm in Acton. I keep thinking about the days when the horses (and maybe even a few more) will enjoy this wonderful big field that is just waiting for us to arrive.
Even though I know at the moment the field looks more like this shot and not the green pasture I am dreaming of, it's still quite wonderful.
This year we have a "hay man" that will come and cut the field for us. He raises cattle and is very excited that we have agreed to let him hay the field until we decide exactly what we are going to do with it. At least this way, it will keep the field open and we will be able to judge the quality of grass and hay that it will produce. Right now, it is resting and getting ready for that first warm sun of spring to start to grow.
Hopefully I can get the horses up there sometime this summer for a visit, I have only been saying and wishing that for the past two summers, but maybe this year it can be done for real... until then, rest well dear field - under your blanket of snow........
