February is Here! And it Better be Quick!


Misty morning, a mizzle really. The car did have just a skim of ice on it and the treacherous spot was the patio. The rest is just crunch, crunch, crunch or bare, hard dirt.

Everybody is out today, we'll revisit that tomorrow, but for now they are all out. I put the little guys hay under the overhang and some I put in the run-in shed for the big boys. I also put some out in the snow banks. Hay keeps horses warm, not grain. The hay on-hand will last a couple more weeks, then we have to get another 40 bales. That then will get us to the end of March.

Tomorrow is Groundhog's Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. This is a serious big deal, and ironically, they are on to something! This is also, traditionally, the day that KC starts to shed, in earnest. Skip starts much later, but KC starts shedding and continues until May.

I am counting the days until Spring.
