Sometimes I look up, and my breath catches—WHEW!
The burning off of the fields, ditches, and whatever else is more than frightening.

This was taken earlier yesterday.
The moon was so beautiful last night that Mom and I had to go for a walkabout
Silver light flooded the land, causing tree limbs to look tangled and twisted as we walked
A high wind rippled clouds across the moon’s face
Causing the Moon to dip and melt into the swiftly moving clouds
The light stretched and flowed
I had to stop and SING the song of the canine people—
Mom told me that it was so mournful, and sad, and beautiful all at once.
I told Mom I just had to voice my soul to the moon.

Yep! It’s time.
Now that there are spears of green lush alflafa growing
The equines don’t want to eat anywhere else but in the alfalfa fields.
Time to move them off and move us on to the fields!

We found we needed to do some work on an area
Our neighbor still has cows (and calves 🙂 ) on her place…they have a tendency to lean
on fences.
You know the rest of the story.

Mom and Dad were very happy for the snow, but for us fur kids, brown is beautiful.

The slanting light gives us blue shadows—coloring the fast-melting bits of snow
The snow is going fast now! We are entering the dreaded of all seasons—MUD!!!
But if the air continues to warm, we just might go through mud season quickly!
Snow shadows!!! ENJOY!

After the snow, we had cold—
with slabs of sunlight that slowly warmed and shifted the ice and snow
It hazed the ice and shimmered across the frozen white
Then it warmed, and the melt began. The ice and snow thudded off the roof, winking and reflecting dazzling light as everything slid to earth.
It was lovely. (Because….since it’s February and and ALMOST MARCH—It won’t last long 🙂 )
From my heart to your world,
Linda
