Guess what y'all? I think spring is finally here.
See those buds? My Mom's fruit trees are covered in them.
I took Mom's camera out; and I took a LOT of pictures, these ones I'm posting as a few of many.
My pretty frizzle hen -Snowflake.
My Mom had the door open, because Zeb was walking in and out -well, I found this little hen wandering around.
In our house.
It hasn't been the first time.
Remember Sparky? He's a handsome young feller now -he's left his mamma, sorta. He follows her around a little, but she doesn't look after him anymore.
You have no idea how long it took me to get that picture of him, I was chasing him all around the lot trying to get close enough to get a good picture. He's very camera shy. I wasn't even that close!
My silkie rooster Bunny.
In all his awesome fluffiness.
One of our young mixed-breed roosters.
I call him Fireblaze.
His brothers -Cody, a handsome white rooster; and a rooster that looks just like Fireblaze except that he's bigger, and has a beard. I call him Nightblaze.
The sunshine is just right for our dusting hens. They were slinging dirt all over!
(Bad picture, sorry!)
Our babies!
Remember little Diamond? She's got a wonderful buff color now.
Snowy. My precious rooster.
He's top rooster now -you can tell by his tail and his spurs, which are almost two inches long!
Hermione and Leia, my goats.
Leia likes the camera. She's a model.
Really!
I love her little beard.
Our lovely little polish hen.
^-^
My sweet, sweet dog.
At her most active moment.
Kinda.
Some wildflowers.
More flowers.
Dandelions!
The day has been very warm, with the sun, and all. :)
It's been awesome.
I took a walk with Zelda earlier, and I saw some interesting wild-critters: hawks, ducks, swallows....
I might actually write a little thing to describe that walk....
I'll let y'all know.
^-^
Over and out.
What can I say?
The snow has fallen often this Winter
It is snowing.
I can't believe it.
And it's sticking....
I have my Civil Air Patrol meeting tonight -I'm beginning to wonder if it's going to be canceled...maybe the snow will be gone by then.
I'm also worried that my stuff I ordered won't come in! My tablet and books... they'd better. I really want to start trying to figure out my tablet! And I really want to read my books!
Heh.
It's a good thing snow is pretty to look it.
We've got nice big flakes here; they kind of float around before they fall....
I'm about to go take care of the animals.
It looks cold outside.
Maybe I'll ask Mom if I can take her camera...take some pictures....
Well -we went to the movies last night.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was a pretty good movie -I must say. It wasn't at all like the book, but then again, how many movies are like the book?
^-^
Willow, Rose, and my Mom all said that the Princess and the Frog was a good movie -much better then the advertisements make it seem.
I just got done taking care of the animals.
The chickens, Midnight my rabbit, and the three bantam roosters in the Nursery.
Dolly and Zelda have been out -they were chasing each other around the yard. Dolly is so quick! If she'd run in a straight line Zelda could get her (Zelda's pretty fast,) but Dolly zigzags so much!
They need to create barrel-racing for dogs. Dolly would be winner for sure!
It seems like Spring outside today -at least it does to me. The sun's shining, and the birds are singing their loud little songs of courtship.... In the areas were the shade of the pine trees grow the ground is covered in white frost, the puddles under the shadows are veiled in a thin layer of ice.
But where the sun shines the water is free and muddy -the puddles' banks patterned in the prints of little doggie paws.
The wind feels good too -not too cold, and very light.
The sky is clear -not overcast with blankets of snow-clouds.
It's pretty nice out today.
Yup.
I really don't know when Winter's going to end.
We've gotten a good dusting so far, today, and it's still going strong.
Guineas. The only birds out at the moment.
Dolly -pointing at who knows what.
Her and Duke played a lot. See her going for Duke's face?
(Note: they are just PLAYING!)
Taking a quick break. But you see Duke's flirting with the idea of charging her.
He moves first -but Dolly is ready for him!
Dolly's evil face... mwaahaahawaa!
Now she's watching the flock of guineas.
And now -Dolly's pointing at Zelda -whose just taking her sweet time.
Here comes Arwen!
Ahh!
And here comes Duke!
AHHHHHHHH!
He's fearsome.
Look at his ears.
^-^
Duke attacks zelda. They wrestle and play in the snow -making their fur wet by the time they follow me back inside.
Nice dodge, Zelda!
Squawk!
The snow is melting -what a sad sight.
But -you never know -maybe it will start up again!
But until then -it's all a bunch of slush. Watery cold -slush.
It's raining slightly. Making this seem be a PERFECT snicker doodle cookie day (hint hint. lol.)
Dolly slept well last night -she only woke up suddenly and growled a few times... hehe. She's a tough dawg.
We've eaten breakfast. Some wonderful pancakes made by mom. We also had this sausage(?) stuff. It was very good.
(Hehe, yes I ate something for breakfast)
Cause -you know -apparently it's the most important meal of the day.
And what if something happened -like say -I had to run a mile down a runway with NO breakfast -in the early morning.
Wouldn't that be just heartbreaking?
I've heard some -very! Heartbreaking stories about this happening.
(If you know who I'm talking about, Andrew)
It's a inside joke, folks.
My apologies.
Anyway.
Hoping y'all have a great morning.

Journee.
I just kinda like this picture.
Pretty, a little smudged....
The snow has stopped, it's being replaced with light sleet.
Hopefully it will come back.
Black and White.
This was taken before the snow stopped.
Quinn.
She thought this would be a good idea.
Puff puff huff.
"It's just not working Journee!"
It sounds like rain -the snow on the dead leafs that still cling to the branches from which they grew.
It looks like a blizzard, swirls of white -floating through the air....
It feels like -well -snow. Cold and freezing.
It tastes like water.
It doesn't smell.
Well -
some does -
but we aren't going to talk about that.
Dolly is still having a great time -she is soaked.
Raven played outside for a while -but she came in quickly.
It's just too much for the old lassy.
Quinn showed off her moves.
"Journee! Journee! JOURNEE! WATCH THIS!!!!!"
And then this happened.
Hmmm mhpmp.
Big Dog chased Little Dog a lot.
Quinn kept throwing snowballs at the back of my head.
"Journee! Hey!"
I'd look.
Splat.
A pawprint.
Big Dog licks and runs at the same time -he is quite gifted.
We have had over a inch of snow -I think.
That's quite a lot 'round here.
^-^
