Here we are in the first week of March, and I haven't had a single mug of hot chocolate. I've been waiting for a decent snowfall. You know, I wanted my first time to be special. I am ready. Cocoa mix, butterscotch schnapps, marshmallows.
I rescued these droopy little daffodils today. Figured they wouldn't survive the storm and brought them in to cheer up my tiny iron toothpick holders.
Fortunately, when the farrier came last week, I had him put Abby's snow pads on one last time. Her shoes cause the snow and slush to build up to alarmingly stiletto proportions, which means she would have to stay in, or risk serious injury in the snow. These little pads with the half-spheres work like magic to prevent the ice build-up.
Fitz and I took a little stroll through the woods, after barn chores, with the idea that it would be nice to have some before and after pics, should we actually get the snow.
He is my constant companion when I am outdoors. He helps with all the chores, but his favorite task is head-butting me as I'm about to take a picture. It's not that easy to get pics of him because he stays so close.
Hoping to show you snow-covered pine cones, next post. |
