March Madness

 Mid Month March Madness

Aka 10 inches of fresh snow. Let the pictures tell the story....











We knew this storm was coming, so made sure we were prepared for it. 



The day before we bought 2 more round bales and set them up in the shelter; one for now and one partitioned off for later on. 


It is really nice hay; first year timothy and orchard grass, nice soft hay for those old mares. However, they are quite sure it should have some alfalfa in it like the small squares I was feeding. 






I make a few piles in the snow  and of course Gussie thinks the pile Happy was eating must be the tastiest one!

Hopefully this will be the last big dump of snow as spring begins in a week.  We do still have a few flurries predicted for next weekend (of course) . I am so over winter!

Unbelievable! We had a cold spell come through, too, but nothing like that! Beautiful photos. They really do tell the tale.

March in Canada : warm, cold, snowy, rainy, windy, calm, sometimes in the same day lol.

Yep I always say we can get every possible weather in March. Even thunderstorms.

Your photos make Winter look pretty.

We have Winter weather brewing. Starting with high winds today, snow etc to follow this weekend and beyond. Spring weather is such a tease, especially after enjoying a couple warm days.

It's been a very long time since I've been jealous of cold and snow, but I'd give just about anything for it now. My favorite thing about spring snow in Colorado is that it's heavy, wet, and disappears within a day or two.
