Coping with Snow

The snow is still here.  It thaws during the day, then freezes at night so the roads are perilous and everything takes forever to do.

Despite this, we are all coping pretty well.

Yesterday, I put out some haynets for the Icelandic horses.  Just in case they were still hungry.

They politely tried them and then walked away so I know they are not struggling.  Sometimes I see someone having a little.

The little ones are all outside now, but Fivla and Vitamin come inside at night as they can’t manage haynets – not got the teeth for them.  They get buckets instead, which they think are great.  Two old ladies trot, yes, trot into the shed as the sun is setting.  It is sweet to see.

Dahlia and Guss turn up for food, and I like to think to say hello.

But, it is mostly food.  I am a realist.

Hay for all and it is always finished.  Again, sheep can dig for the grass and it is perfectly visible in places.

As I was going inside after doing the afternoon chores, I played a quick game of “Spot the horses”.  It took a while for me to find the third.

So, we’re doing ok (raw and emotional if I think about it) and thank you for your kind words.  They were appreciated.

    Thank you, Frances, I love your blog and look forward to it every day. I am so sorry about Storm–I have 3 horses on my property (one of mine, 2 of my daughter’s) and I know what magnificent creatures they are. Sending virtual hugs from Sauvies Island Oregon

    Seems like the weather can be a reflection of our emotions or vice versa. You always give so much of yourself, but now you need to give to yourself.
