spring is springing!

I spent the afternoon in the garage. It was so nice out. I had to do some reorganizing in the garage and it was so pleasant out. I loved it. I heard sandhill cranes and doves. The sun was out and bright. We still have snow on the ground, but it is going away. The forecast is for it to get into the 50s! So the snow should be gone soon!

Of course then there is the mud. We're already dealing with it. The dogs had to be wiped down before they could come in for dinner tonight. They spent the afternoon outside with me. They were so happy to have that much time outside.

It was so nice, the horses even decided to take a walk! Their fence came down for some reason and they just strolled out onto the lawn. They were very happy to eat some grass for a few minutes. I was happy Brent had come out to move some chicken feed! He headed them off as they were going towards the road. And I got their halters and some treats to bribe them with.

Two weeks ago they got out, and it was much more stressful. And it ended with Leo colicing, so I'm much happier with today's adventure. Although I'd be even happier if they just didn't have these adventures. We're working on that.

FYI your comment button is invisible. I happened to find it just by moving my mouse around.

Sounds like your weather is similar to ours. So need the warm weather after this winter.

Still sounds cold to me! Glad you were able to venture outside for more than 10 minutes at a time!!! I didn't even think about the mud! Joy! At least it isn't sub zero with mud. Take care and enjoy the "warm weather"!!!
