THAT WAS YESTERDAY

Hats and sunglasses against a cool sun.

Tons of sun. Clothes on the line. Animals all outside. Gardens planned. New feed in big reusable drums.

Pigs and cows transported to spring quarters. The calves wheeled across the way. Doors wide open to the cool bright sunshine. Ducks nibbling on the smallest of new shoots. Molly in her farrowing suite (she has a good few weeks to go yet but she needs to get used to the ducks in case I don’t get them shifted in time).

The barns doors opened wide.

Then this morning I awake to this.

And it is still snowing. Heavily.

Really snowing now. I have too much to finish today to be dealing with snow again!

  1. We are basking in the first dry week since September. Seasonably cool but a bright orb in the sky that had been absent for months. Fields have new green hue, hang in there…spring really is coming.

  2. Is it just me or is Aunty Del looking thinner? Oh well, snow day it is then, frustrating for you I am sure. Laura

  3. We can’t count on spring quite yet. Even here we have one sunny day and then the temperatures drop and we have hail, sleet and more snow. Luckily the snow doesn’t last long but we still have ice covering the parks and our lawns and the edges of the road by the curbs.

  4. 😑 but look at all of those beautiful birds! I just spent over an hour scrolling through Instagram looking at urban gardens and dreaming of gardening. I am so done with winter.

  5. Oh no! That was a shock indeed to see the snow pics. You could tell the animals were loving spring. Let’s assume that they just take one day at a time and deal with what comes, but as humans that rapid transition isn’t so easy or pleasant to work with.

  6. Yikes! We’re stunned by your last photo because there’s no hint of snow here. Cold though. But sunny.

  7. I feel your pain on the snow. You get so much more than us and we are feeling the same — so you must REALLY be over the snow. We have sun this weekend with rain and cold, maybe some flurries, next week. And all I want to do is play in my greenhouse. We have our very first wwoofer this weekend. What a wonderful experience — and discovered through you so many thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.
