When the rain finally stopped, there was plenty of water standing in the pens, and of course, I had to check out how deep it was when I went out for my daily chores.
I loved to play in puddles when I was a kid....
Fortunately, because of the warm weather, the ground has thawed out and a lot of the water has gone into the ground. Never one to waste an opportunity, I loved the lines and reflections in this photo:
It is so nice when the sun comes out after a couple of rainy days.
The manure mountain is surrounded by water, and is making a good barnyard tea, which I am standing in, in that first photo. I left the wheel barrow on the pile while I snapped the photo above, and it seems the girls are never one to waste an opportunity either!
In the last week Velvet has tipped the wheel barrow over twice- and always when it's full!
Belle
, meanwhile, is getting mellower as her baby grows; only 4 months to go! And of course, that will be another contest, my annual guess the date one which I'll start in March.

Always a pleasure to look at!
The girls look great ,I am amazed at all the water!
whew brrr! That looks cold. We're expecting rain here too. I was spoiled by our nice weather. I can't believe how deep that water is on your boots!
Yes, good lines in that reflection photo...Cisco just loved to look at me when I was shoveling...then he'd grab the handle on the wheel barrow and tip it over...he knew exactly what he was doing...
That is a lot of water!
oooh, lucky you, your own private lake!

Mucky stuff. That's one good thing about frozen ground and snow.
Now that is a pretty deep muddle to be playing in ;) Love that last photo of Belle!
Howdy,
looks like Spring down there, much nicer up here in Northern British Columbia, -15C. and a little snow.
Hopefully it gets better for your horses.
Oh how I wish I read your blog all those rainy falls and springs in NW wisconsin - I thought I was the only one in the world with mud and water and ugh I dont miss those times at all!
So fun with the pic of Baby in the belly shot!
Never a dull moment, huh?! :) That second picture is gorgeous. All of your pictures are... :)
