And then it all melted

[altivo]

Snow turning to puddles in one day. The boys had to almost swim to get back into their stalls. Well, no, that's a bit exaggerated. But their water trough overflowed from roof runoff, and there is a deep puddle right outside their doors.

Someone didn't want me to make any desserts because it's Lent and he's trying to lose weight. Now he's unhappy about that. ;p Fortunately there is some cake in the freezer that his sister-in-law made at Christmas.

Tess was antsy with spring fever today but I didn't want to put her out. The wet would be good for her feet, but everything is still snow covered out there, though the snow is slushy. She doesn't really like being out in a snowy pasture, as I well know. She gets very loud and vocal about it.

Not eager to get back to work tomorrow, but no choice. And now it's time to sleep.

Sounds like the weather is quite unstable in there. Maybe the spring is there tomorrow :)

So it is time for... Winter Wrap-up!

Tess sounds like she just wants to go out roll in the mud and dirt, but that it is understandable, she has probably been looking forward to it for quite a while. It must feel like an eternity to her. Hopefully the ground will dry up soon :)

Close. She wants to go out and run, and eat grass (even though the only grass out there right now is like soggy, freeze-dried hay,) and THEN roll in the mud if she can find any, no matter how cold it is.

But there's still enough snow on the ground that she won't find either the old grass from last year or the mud to roll in. Probably. We'll see how things are by Thursday.

I wish I could have some horsie friends to go out and run with. Even though it is -9C here and the snow is still showing no signs of melting. :P
