These photos are actually "old" as they were taken last week, we had another round of snow, and I recall saying something about "just a bit more and my garden horse might be gone for good". Well, it's getting close, poor thing!!! I already know that I will measure spring in how quickly he reappears!!!!
It's been cold again too... cold meaning anything under 20 degrees. I find myself happy to do inside projects on days such as this, and believe me, the inside list is long... there is always something that can be done. On this day, Abbie and I decided that peanut butter cookies might be just the thing. She loves to help with anything... unload the dishwasher, feed the dogs, pick up her toys... and bake!!!
Course, I'm not exactly sure how many cookies I 'loose" before they make it to the oven!!!!!
I was so happy last fall when we moved all those piles of dirt and you could see the front of the house. Now the snow has taken the place of the those dirt piles... at least this will melt and the front will be "see-able" once again...
Ed continues the battle with the snow. He had to take the snow blower and go around the entire fence line. In some places the fence was so buried that the horses couldn't see it, and could easily walk over it. The usually don't stray too far from the barn, but just in case they did want to spread out further, I feel better that they stay inside the fence.
The piles and drifts are so large that from the driveway, you can't even see the barn!!!!
Happily our "little furnace" keeps chugging and is keeping the house nice and warm. As long as we "feed it" twice a day...we had wondered how it would be to rely solely on wood, but so far so good, and this has been the winter to prove it. The tent building has worked out ok.. but we're thinking that a pole barn would work better, so there's another thing on the to do list. All in all, life is pretty average around here, and the winter is on the downhill side...
