And Now The Weather

February 23rd, 2007

As you might have gathered from yesterday’s two entries I am rather pleased with the current state of affairs.

And by that I mean the weather.

And by that I mean the absolutely bucketfuls of snow that we have got. Amazing. I will enjoy it while I can. Right now it is just perfect, just perfect. Next week there will be rain and rising temperatures. But for now, I am in snow heaven.

I made it up to the animals okay yesterday. I didn’t close the door properly when I went in to the goats though. Magnethe saw her chance to escape. I didn’t have to worry about her going far though..

Just a look outside where it was biting cold and still snowing, that was enough for her.

I’ll be feeding the animals tomorrow. I hope it’ll go okay. I bet I’ll have hard time with the door to the horse stable. The last couple of times it has been frozen stuck even though there were only small amounts of snow. But I’ll see. I wonder if the horses will even want to come out. They can’t grass. I don’t even know if they can get out to the fold. Anyway, I’ll see. As long as I can get the food and water for them then it’ll be fine.

Went out and enjoyed the winter night tonight. It was still snowing which makes it hard to take pictures with flash. Here’s a couple though:

That’s my leg there, in case you couldn’t tell. In some places I would sink down even further than that. But it’s fun to go off the beaten track where all the snow is pure and untouched.

I wish I could just swim around in the snow.

But that’s all for today. All this playing in the snow makes me a tired boy. Oh, before I forget. A video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=gxRLqwXXO7s. From before the snowfall. It’s Mads and Magnethe playing hard and rough. Clashing horns and jumping and all.

And now, back to snow dreaming.

A Snow Dream

February 22nd, 2007

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin’ boy
And I’m lost in a daydream
Dreamin’ ’bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain’t really on my side
It’s one of those days for taking a walk outside
I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody’s new-mown lawn

And you can be sure that if you’re feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.

Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
