It's quite lovely, but the combination of very wet ground underneath and slightly above freezing temps is making for extremely mushy ground already. I had envisioned a break from the mushy ground, but I guess that will come tonight when the temps are supposed to drop into the teens.<BR/><BR/>I have put everyone out of the barn for the day, without blankets, so they can get some fresh air and give the barn and the stalls a rest while we muck.<BR/><BR/>It appears the sun may come out, and although they are on mushy ground outside, it has to be better than standing in a barn all day long!<BR/><BR/>They all seemed pretty happy to head out, especially Salina.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-50063325730057170592009-03-02T11:01:00.000-05:002009-03-02T11:01:00.000-05:00Did you get more snow on Sunday night or was that ...Did you get more snow on Sunday night or was that it? We're in our second round of it right now, after receiving about 6 inches last night. I think it will end up being a total of just under a foot. Luckily, the ground under your snow probably isn't frozen, so it will absorb all the moisture quickly. I'm always astonished by how much the ground is able to absorb and how fast. Since the temps were well below freezing here, our winter wonderland will be around a lot longer than yours.

It's beautiful outside, and I guess I should be grateful that it won't melt for a couple of days, since the ground is already completely saturated! Can what is already in the soil absorb underneath the snow in the meantime?billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-11963361880810688062009-03-02T08:13:00.000-05:002009-03-02T08:13:00.000-05:00That's very interesting that it snowed 9 inches on...That's very interesting that it snowed 9 inches on your birth date. I wonder if it does mark some sort of circle in your life or if perhaps now I know who to blame for this miserable weather. Just kidding. Hope you all enjoy your snow especially the Mystical-kit.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
