Walk With Me Through TOO MUCH SNOW! (With An Angelic Grand Finale!)

I decided it was time to do another "Walk With Me" last night. We are not going far, just to do the chores. It will take a while though... There is about a foot of snow to tromp through. The backhoe has refused to start all winter. The snowblower sits there, demanding I run it and I refuse. Mark got in last night, he has a week off coming up, and I have a serious case of the clumsies of late. I smashed one hand and strained the wrist on the other, I am just NOT running that blower! So I am facing a slog through deep snow, the wind is HOWLING... lets go do some chores!😒

Don't forget to look up when you head out the door!



OK, this is a pretty cool icicle display, worthy of another shot!



Grab the food, let's feed critters! Barley sprouts, non-GMO feed, cat food.

Isn't it beautiful? Well, actually, not to me, not now... I am sick of it this evening. Our trees were budded out, spring had SPRUNG, and now THIS!



When I get to the barn the chicken bitches are in the solarium but they race to the door when they see me coming.

They clog the doorway so I can hardly get in. Chickens aren't stupid, but they aren't smart...

They are all fed, and happily chowing down now!

Lets see what they are going to feed me... Notice how many chickens and how few eggs? Some of these birds will be getting an appointment with destiny very soon. Most days are not this bad, but about half these girls are ancient and do not lay any more. What do YOU call a laying hen that does not lay...?

Now to feed the barn kitty. The "striped kitties" have been spraying, I am NOT feeding them if I can avoid it. I want them to MOVE before I have to deal with them in a more personal way.

Off to feed the banished rooster. I have 3 of them, I only wanted 2, and none of them will get along nicely. The old man is locked in a separate room in the barn, my Cornish Cross is with the girls, and this guy is awaiting a ride to town with the old hens, in a place he cannot hurt the roosters I DO want to keep.

I would let him out during the day, but right now he won't leave the coop. He is sick of snow, too.

Look at the awesome patterns the wind is carving out of the snow! And my face and hands!

A sled load of alfalfa

A sled load of grass hay

And we are off to feed the cows!



And of course, I must chop water and carry wood (because I do everything backwards!)

Chores are done for the day, NOW I am happy!

And this was where "Walk With Me" ended. It is quiet up here, very, very quiet. Usually. Until a very noisy angel shows up... I hope @lindsaybowes will allow me to brag about being the "victim" of an #ophumanangels attack. It made me cry, but then I am a sap...

May your Life Walk be blessed with many angelic surprises!

NAMASTE'!
