January thaw

This is not so unusual in the great state, one day we're in winter..its cold, it's dark and my words fear, it's icy.. Even the animals are not impressed.. Rio pops out once in a while, but ice and snow aren't really his thing..



And then, in literally a few hours..a warm front comes roaring threw and we are in spring!!!

The driveway  goes from this 








To this.....glad we didn't call to have it sanded!!!

And the farm seems to wake up for a few days and remind us that spring will appear once again

Trouble is..its only January, winter still has long to go...so I'll enjoy this thaw..even the mud..open the windows and let fresh air in the house, get outside and soak up the warmth and sun..and be ready for what's coming...in a few days
