Oh man! Just one bale! Hope you can find that one bale inexpensively...or that your grass greens up quickly!!! Great photo! You have such beautiful scenery around your place!
Hey where's the snow? I still have about 8 inches on the ground and more falling today. Here's to the ever hopeful, ever faithful Pat. We need people like you getting the rest of us through winter blues.
In NH we got heavy snow this morning, then it changed over to sleet and freezing rain around noon time, it's suppose to go back to heavy snow later this afternoon. Enough is enough already. I'm tired of shoveling this heavy stuff...
aren't they just the most annoying of creatures!!? my mom beat one with a shovel at midnight once when she caught it in the cats food!! i have the most rotglol moment when i image my mom at 78 years doing such a thing!! sorry about your chicken!
This reminds me of my cats. They are always the door waiting to be feed when I get in from work...even though they get fed a little later. I know you horses will be glad to see some nice, fresh green grass to munch on!
LOL they can't be pretty tough.. Our poor horses have had some horrible winters to endure.. one winter it was below -40c for over 3 week straight. and one morning int was -52c .. the little ball wouldn't even come up in the outdoor thermometer!! I have never seen it that good again. You would think we live in the Arctic with those temps. I felt so bad for the horses.. but they did have enough brains to get in the shelter.. and we feed them a whole lot of extra food to keep them warm. We don't have them anymore.. when we moved down to the big city area, we had no place to keep them so we took them to the auction and got ridiculous prices. Of course we couldn't be there that day.. as the horse auction was the day we rented the truck to move.. (6 hours away) So sad, I sure hope the older mare didn't go to the slaughter house... she stubborn but a good kid horse when shown who's boss! I miss them!
OH now this must be nice we have several more feet to go before we see ground.. Winter is no where near over.. usually in March we have a huge storm and it dump another 2 feet of snow. But hey can always hope to have an early spring.. There is so much snow here.. the run off is going to be crazy!!!
Funny we have geese and ducks that don't fly away for the winter too.. they hang around the same place.. a plant that uses the water and the water remains warm and unfrozen. It was odd though the other day while driving through the big city.. there was a duck that got hit on the site of the road.. Just seemed so odd to see a duck in the beginning of February!!
At first glance I thought this was a giant spider web but then when I opened it up, I loved what I saw. It is a great photo! I should have known it wasn't a spider web considering the snow you've had!!!
I was trying to look up that first little bird you described but I couldn't find it. There were a few that I thought it could be. A black and white Warbler, some kind of Phoebe. Maybe a black capped chickadee?
I try to figure down to the last bale how many rounds I'll use each winter. My hay guy lives an hour and a half from my house, so I try to get a full load when I go. The bales are 5x6 bales - HUGE big - and I can only get three on my 22' gooseneck trailer.
I'm out today. Which isn't really a problem, except there's no reason to go all the way to Pawnee to get just ONE bale of hay. And I don't NEED three. The grass is coming on green, and it'll only be a couple of weeks before the horses abandon eating hay altogether in favor of the pasture grass.
So - here I am. Stuck. I have to feed hay for the next couple of weeks. Which means ONE round bale or feeding off square bales. Rounds are cheaper - unless you have to hunt to find them, and I don't have a local source for the kind of quality my horses expect.
:sigh: Looks like we're going to be feeding more expensive hay for a couple of weeks. Come on, grass. GROW!
