ice day on the hill



We're getting ice pellets, sleet, and freezing rain today - it's piling up in some areas and not at all in others. Horses and donkeys are in the barn enjoying loose hay, stuffed hay nets, and warmed up water. Keil Bay took a little run through the barnyard earlier but other than that, they seem to be content to just hang out and munch their way through this winter day.

  1. The pellets just got here. Someone is standing out in them, rather than in his cozy shelter... wonder who that could be.?! I'm off to tempt him with a bucket of (lovingly prepared) hot mash...

    Looking forward to the return of our unseasonable January weather. :D

  2. Well, it's a pretty picture but the weather is miserable for all of us. We've got single digits at night and its snowing right now. The herd seems anxious to come in early and enjoy their comforts in the barn. Hope we all warm up soon.
