We always get a thaw in January. The days turn warm, the snow melts, and we have a mini mud season. I know it won’t last – it’s just a taste of the spring to come.
We’ll probably need to add gravel to the driveways this spring. It’s amazing how gravel disappears so fast!
The front field still has good marks – we may not need to re-mark it this spring. It depends on how much damage the horses do before they move back out to the cedars.
The ewe pens are a mess. However, they seem to have actually enjoyed having manure mountains to play on. They do have nice, dry areas under the barn to sleep in.
Even our barn cat, Orange, likes the warm weather. He was lounging on the front steps, but he sat up before I could get his portrait.
