This would be Patty and
Artist enjoying Breakfast on Saturday morning! It’s the first time Artist has ever seen snow. I couldn’t help noticing all the wrinkles on
his forehead. And his nose.
After a week of being
blessed by Mother Nature flushing her toilet on us – without ever letting go of
the handle – Jack Frost decided he’d had enough.
The scary part – Dwayne made
that comment out of left field on Tuesday – “ We’re gonna get snow. “ I rolled my eyes. That was nowhere on the map or in the
forecast!
So - nowhere was the thought of me falling on my ass anywhere on the back porch!

Cora and Patty have been around snow in the past. This was something new for The Boys and The Babies.
And if you think they
cared at all - after being holed up in the barn for a week – dodging all the
crap coming at everybody from all directions – you would be wrong.
I guess the freezing temperature of ice doesn’t seem to phase her. Cracked me up – watching her carrying plates of ice around – figuring out how to bite off chunks!
For that reason – I chose
to let Killian go out to ‘ The Big Yard ‘ – instead of April. Bruce began trying to mount Cora before they
even made it out there for breakfast.
April is old enough to
conceive. But she’s not ready. And I’m not up to taking chances on him scaring
her into never wanting to breed.
So – yesterday was spent
on letting everyone get all the stuffiness out of their system – safely.
Everybody was napping or sunbathing by mid-afternoon.
Surprises us to watch Killian and Artist hang out together - with the gate between the 2 of 'em. But they'll just have to put up with the gate. End of that conversation.
We tried telling Artist and Patty they should wait until we could get out there and pick up all the manure without it slopping through the tines of the pitchforks.
Patty just looked at Dwayne and said, - “ Oh, Honey. Don’t worry about that. Tomorrow might not be as sunny and gorgeous as it is right now! “
Don’t they just look like
the perfect couple!! ( I know. I know!
LOL Reminds me of that show ' Maude ' !! )

Beautiful pictures! I'd have that one of the henhouse printed and framed! The cattle look good too!
Hey, be glad Carlie is picking up huge ice chunks and not frozen piles of what the cow left behind. :)
Wonderful to see the photos of your animals. :-)
