I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...


Except, I'm not Dreaming!
We got over 17 inches of snow last night and today it's blowing like crazy.
This was the view out my dining area window ~ looking out to the chicken barn in my back yard, this morning.  If you look closely, you can see the huge overhang of snow hanging off the roof out  the top windows. 

The window in my bathroom looks out over the back pasture.  The snow was plastered against that side of the house.  I truly felt "snowed in".


Bella was a little nervous about the snow piled higher than the door knob on the door to the back yard from the garage!


As I walked out to check on the sheep, it looked like they were pretty well snowed in as well!


The reality was there is a big drift in front of their barn but the snow was all blown away by the door and around the right side of the building.  Lucky sheep!


I only trudged out to Zorro's breeding group because Dream and her friends were all in the Big Barn and had plenty of hay for another day.
And it's REALLY cold out there!



The breeding group is still getting GRASS CLIPPINGS  that I saved from last summer.  They LOVE them!

Dilemma says...

"Uh-huh.  Yup.  That's right, we DO!"

I hope that everyone is safe and warm, where ever you are!
Tomorrow ~ DREAM in the snow...

I SO Have No Control Over My Life...

And sometimes that's OK.
This is what I found when I went out to feed the chickens and pet the sheep yesterday:

Did naughty Zorro break out of his pen and get in by the ewes?  You might ask.

No, No, NO!

That would be way too predictable!  No, naughty DAZZLE broke into Zorro's Pen!

Since the deed had already been done (literally as well as figuratively!) I decided I may as well make up a breeding group.  Alice had been standing outside the gate to Zorro's pen, making goo-goo-eyes at him again so I let her in.  And Dilemma.  And Chance.

I might be persuaded to add Destiny and Angel to the mix if either of them shows interest.And if Zorro doesn't have a heart attack trying to breed Alice!  (I've got photos!  It's hysterical!!) 

This is NOT what I had planned!
It's all Dazzle's fault!
BAD  Dazzle!

"But, he told me he LOVES   me!!!"

Aparently, there will be lambs in the Bluff Country next year, after all...

;-)
