Well, the Winter Weather Advisory is coming to an end. Winter is hanging on a little bit longer than most people would like. As much as it makes things a muddy mess and sets us back as far as our hopes of spring really being here, I'm ok with it. It means extra moisture in the ground. I'm not sure I can handle another drought.
Yesterday I went ahead and blanketed almost everyone and I'm glad that I did. I heard rumors that we had rain before it switched to snow. I have no idea if it rained or not. I slept like a log last night so when I woke this morning and saw snow, I was pretty pleased that I'd gone ahead and put blankets on everyone.
I was even more pleased when I went to check on the big herd and heard blankets crinkle from having them freeze. So I do expect that we had rain before it switched to snow. We are supposed to get yet another snow storm early next week. I do think we've been fairly spoiled in having such short winters so I'm not too concerned.
Everyone is doing fine although I'm still slow to get anything done these days. The only reason I'm getting this blog done is because my paying job cancelled work. The weatherman had predicted blowing snow about the time everyone was commuting back home and the roads in weren't the greatest. They dont normally cancel work, but I'll take it when I can!
