More Winter!!!!

Here it is, almost Valentines Day, and it looks more like Christmas!!! It's been a real winter here!! BIG SNOW STORM, cold weather, heavy frost, and now more snow! But this one was more of a pretty all-day snow fall with temperatures right at freezing overnight with progressive warming over the past couple of days - so, it's almost gone and up to 56 degrees today. This was Rodgers Road yesterday. Our property is to the right of this road. Welcome to the country!!!I dashed out to take snow pics towards town, but the best pictures yesterday were right here in the pecan orchard. Even though the snow was melting off, the horses enjoyed wandering and foraging in the snow.
...as did the heifers and bull. They're growing as they should, and while there's little grass to be had in the fields, they eat a huge bail of hay about every other week.

that looks like a lot of fun to take the car out and do some fishtailing, off-roading and mud-running.

hasmsidLooks like you're getting your fair share of crazy winterness like the rest of the country is! It snowed in Savannah for the first time in 25 or so years this past weekend! I would have liked to have seen that .

i always feel bad for the livestock but have to remember that they are ok. after all, i know that deer and antelope dont get shelter during bad weather, and horses and cows are in the same kind of family. btw- it's mid 70s here. haha.
