I woke up and saw.....

Is it...could it be....underneath that snow was...
A little bit of green!!! Yay!! Armed with the camera, the dogs and I took a Saturday morning stroll.
The future tree orchard! The order has been placed, the shipment has arrived, and now we wait on spring. Eight lovely fruit tress will grace these already gorgeous six's presence!
The wet winter has destroyed our 1/2 mile long driveway. More gravel needs to be ordered.
My future garden! It is the size of a 1/4 acre lot. I think behind the garden (where the dead grass is) is where the future honey bees will live! Dare I do it?
Wait...Is that the...Oh NO!! The neighbors horse might be calling for a visit. Quick dogs run, hide!!
What...Why are we getting closer?!
Be kind..this is pre-shower, pre-picture time! I just couldn't resist, I am terrified of these animals, and finally one was restrained and behind bars. I could finally get close enough to take a pic with the both of us!
And finally back to the chickens!! I love living here!! I just cant wait until it warms up a bit, and the grass turns completely green again!

It's hard to believe the scenery could change so quickly! I've been cold and tired of the icy stuff too, so it was great to see the hope of spring popping up in your area!

Yeah for your adventures into the "horse zone"! See, they can be nice.

BTW....great pictures! You're becoming quite the photographer!

love you~
