While Nancy over at
A Rural Journey had amazing 80 degree weather and Lisa at
Two Bears Farm is getting ready to plant her garden (our gracious hosts at Rural Thursday blog hop), we are finally getting some winter!!
About six inches of snow fell Wednesday night, and as I'm typing this on Thursday mornin', it's all gone...and it's still raining. What we have now is lots of mud!
Without much moisture to speak of all fall and winter, we can't complain...we really need snow pack in the mountains and some good spring rain on the desert. The spring grasses will grow nicely for the grazing ranges. The ranchers need to feed the cattle...and our lil' herd will do nicely on our grazing hill too.
But, the snow was pretty while it lasted!

Red had snow balls stuck in his fur bigger than golf balls...that had to hurt! I took a bowl of warm water and got them melted off...the mud room was quite the mess!

| Have a seat? |
I'll try to remember this shot when it's 100 degrees this coming summer!

This lil' guy is stayin' nice and warm.

Please come join us for a rural blog hop across America!!
Spring snows are pretty... especially when they melt fairly quickly. Love the picture of Red with the blob of snow on his head! You are such a sweet mom to melt off his snowballs!
ReplyDeleteGus and the rimrock looked like that Bev Doolittle painting. Very pretty. My part of the country had only a siftering of snow the other day, not enough for a photo op.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pics! I especially love the one of Red and the one of the owl. The snow is pretty too :-)
ReplyDeleteSnow sure makes for pretty pictures. And that is the best kind lots of moisture in it and it melts quickly too. Unless its after trees are leaved (leafed?) out then it just breaks branches. Sorry little off topic, i love the pic of Gus by the rock he sure does blend in.
ReplyDeleteOh you did get snow! Ours comes and goes...comes and goes.... today it's raining and blowing. Your image of
ReplyDeleteGus in "camouflage" is reminiscent of a Bev Doolittle painting.
I love that you helped to melt the snowballs off your dog, Red! ~M
ReplyDeleteGus blends in with the rocks quite nicely! Poor Red, I'm sure he's glad you helped him get the snowballs out of his coat!
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting some moisture Sunday and Monday! YAY!!
I love your owl picture!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of your snowy day -- Gus, Red, the owl -- so perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at RT. It means alot! :)
Enjoyed your snow pictures! We've not really had any winter to speak of, and now we're having 80-degree days, and it's not even technically spring yet. :(
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos - Red is so beautiful, the horses are always great, but the owl took my breath away! What a great shot!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! We'd love some moisture in Montana. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pics! I have been reading your blog for sometime now and LOVE it! The horses and dogs are very beautiful. And in this post I love the owl! Thank you for commenting on my blog!

I figured you'd get some awesome photos! The one of Gus Doolittle is perfect- frameable! The owl too; these should be in a local calendar.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of Gus but that Owl pic is exceptional, all I got yesterday was seagulls..:-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE these winter pix!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteLove Gus' soft eyes...
ReplyDeleteYour snowy pictures are just marvelous!
