We are officially enjoying the second day of Spring, however no one here on the farm really believes it! Trudging through the snow to the barn for morning milking is the same as it was in December or January other than the fact that my purple and yellow crocuses are peeking through the white blanket of snow.
The dogs are reliving winter by rolling in the snow and making snow angels. The cattle even love the snow. I saw Oreo kicking up his heels just this morning having a blast! And, Mocha! Oh, Mocha! She got in trouble (again) last night because “someone” failed to shut the stall door completely while mucking her stall and she embraced the opportunity while backs were turned to push the door open with her nose and run into the barnyard and frolic in the snow! I wish I could have seen her! She is such a bovine/kid at heart!
But however fun it is…this farmer girl is ready for Spring weather, not just a date on the calendar! I hear we might have another round of the white stuff, but I am going to hold out hope that March will go out like a lamb because it certainly came in like a lion and has roared the entire month so far!
