Next week we will flip our calendars ahead to April. We have already advanced our clocks in tune with daylight savings time. Yet, when I check the weather forecast for the next several days, what I read let's me know that winter is still with us. Words like "a light mix of winter precipitation" says it all.
Here is a sampling of what winter looked like on our farm:
 |
| The cow's view of the farm from the woods they use for winter shelter. |
 |
| Our main barn |
 |
| Our family farm |
 |
| Snow and more snow... |
 |
| Keeping the alley way clear for access to all the animals |
 |
| The cows coming out of the woods, following a snow fall, for hay and water. |
 |
| Smile! Ours cows and their 2013 babies. |
 |
| Beary and George, our halflinger team |
 |
| Greeting a new day following an overnight snow, Beary, George and the cows |
 |
| Our 2012 hiefers, Dotti, Deliah, Bobbi Socks, Argyle and steers, Duke and Jackson |
 |
| Driving with hoof power! |
In addition to the winter-like weather, the forecast also included the promising news of daytime temperatures in the 40's. Spring will be arriving and with it, green pastures. This is something that we look forward to, the promise of spring.
