It’s been a cold, cold week. The calendar says springtime. But it sure feels like winter. On Monday we had a really fierce, biting wind. It was supposed to be a snowstorm, but the snow had stopped falling by the time I headed out to see the goats. The wind kept howling, though. And so did the goats. I think they just wanted to go inside to get out of the wind. Or maybe they hadn’t been fed during the morning, because they did quiet down once a bale of fresh hay was dropped into the pen. I went home on frozen blocks of ice after sitting in that wind for hours. On Thursday I went back to see the goats again and by then the wind was thankfully gone. But the snow started falling again. It’s lovely, sitting on the bench, watching the snow fall and the goats play. Still cold, but a lot easier to handle. I love watching the snow fall on Bob’s black fur. I caught him on video a couple of times shaking it off. Like a dog shaking the water off after running through the sprinklers in a pet food commercial. I made a video with slomos, see it below. I could watch that all day.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast says we’ll be getting temperatures above zero now so that’s nice. The snow will probably stay on the ground for a while, though. But hopefully spring will come back soon. Only a week away from April. It needs to warm up.<\/p>\n

Other than that there’s not much new. Some health regime news. But ehh. Too boring. A thank you to Debster, I got the card! Thank you very much to you and the gang. Lovely card. Oh I just noticed I still have the christmas decoration you sent me hanging from the drawer in my TV table. How merry!<\/p>\n

Now let’s get jolly with the goats.<\/p>\n

First a little one of Bob in the snow. As I said, shaking the snow off his back. Love it to bits.
