Warmer Weather + Chores = Happier Me

This morning, chores were a breeze. Everyone was nice and calm. The herd was overfed from the night before, the temps weren't bitterly cold, there was NO wind, and everything felt calm. The only noise was the crunching of snow under my feet. It made the day run so much smoother.

Tonight as I was leaving, I checked the weather and it looked beautiful out. Of course there was some wind but not enough to cause problems for feeding time. Once again, everyone was nice and calm throughout the feeding frenzy. I really do love this warmer weather.

I don't think that we'll get to stay with the 20s for very long. I looked at the extended forecast and we're dropping down into the single digits for highs and below zeros for the lows coming this weekend. Hopefully next week will warm up as it makes chores that much easier. And since Mike will be at training for work, I'll be home alone trudging through chores. If the weather is nice, I'll be a bit more energized to get stuff done outside (even if I'm home alone).

But with all this white stuff on the ground, I decided I'd take a step back in time and remember what the earth looks like bathed in green. Thought maybe you would all enjoy some more vacation pictures. It's all scenery but it's nice looking at green instead of white. I need to find batteries so I can take pictures of the herd. But until then, enjoy some scenery from the Black Hills.





Hopefully none of these are duplicates. I'll keep posting vacation scenery pics but please excuse me if I happen to duplicate any pics.
