Basking

 Yup it has been sunny here and all the critters have been taking advantage of it and basking in the sun. 




I have been pretty lazy this week. It seems that although the weather is nice, it's not nice enough to actually do stuff outside. I moved some panels to do more deer proofing, scooped poop in the areas where it was no longer frozen, played a bit with Ruby on the lead line, and basically I am at the point where I want the snow to go away and spring to come! Our truck is still in the shop so it will be awhile before I can haul to the arena.


The kittens have the feeding routine down pat, they come running when they hear me go to the barn and even meow at me if I am a bit slow in feeding them. Smokey will now not move if I am a couple feet away from him, he's not nearly as flighty as he used to be. 

The deer have been entertaining us, coming right up to the house, and they are all fat and in good health.  Bodes well for hunting season!


Meanwhile.... the wait for foals drags on! Shayla has a couple due next month and a bunch more a little later. It's hard to be patient at this time of year!

Sun feels soooo good this time of year. Especially after extended cloudy days. Cute kitties!

while i'm not a fan of warm weather, i admit the sun in winter is nice on the odd day. :)

Sunny here, too. It was much needed for all.

The sunlight was quite cheery and welcome. Most of our critters were lazing about in the sunshine also.

We are having a February melt with rain on the way and then another round of snow.
I actually rather like winter though...
