During the night, one-day last week, the snow arrived
Not lots and lots of snow,
But enough snow, the ground was frozen
And pleasant to take a wild run about.
Fun!
Perfect!
The gifts of clean air, fresh snow, who could ask for more?

Even in the middle of winter
There is always so much to do.
Just ask T’Ata and Glory B…
Scattering Sandhill Cranes is just ONE of those fun things to do. 🙂

Glory B and T’Ata are free to roam the farm daily.
Come evening, one of us meets them at the back gate and
takes them into the corrals and the barn for their meal.
The cows don’t mind sharing.
Nor do they have trouble with the horses whispering secrets
To each other
Everyone content
Living here off the land.

First thing early Terry got out the tractor and blade and headed out to smooth up the lane and the farm roads.
The cows had made lots of nice little holes in the mud making going down the farm roads a little on the hard side.
And the long lane to highway had holes worn in it from the tires.
Then in the afternoon, the grey tumultuous clouds came rushing in, covering the Adobe Hills at the base of Grand Mesa
There is a beauty in the snow/rain/mix of those clouds only a photographic vision can express.
The girls had to come over to see what Terry was doing
So I took out treats to these bright rays of horse sunshine.
Glory B (her papers say her name is Blaze of Glory) and T’Ata two of the sweetest, fun to be around furry equines anyone could ask for.
You folks have a great day!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
