I’m sorry about all of the sickness!

We are having a break from flooding today, because it was 15 this morning. I need to go dig my ditch back out while there isn’t water in it!

My horses are just starting to shed, and it’s not much yet. So, they are covered in long dead poor looking fur. Of course they’d be miserable if they shedded it out, so I’m glad they haven’t.

We are so behind in spring work I don’t know how we’ll get everything done by the dates it will need done! We’ll just work hard I suppose, when it finally breaks. I hate that we can’t get horses ridden down before it begins, so it might be interesting. I did saddle Queen and sit on her yesterday, but I could only walk back and forth on this really small patch of ground, and she wanted to be hot. There’s just nothing to be done for it!

Oh, my road is shut down too! Yesterday I saw Red Cross out taking pictures of my yard and my neighbors. It’s so weird to be somewhere Red Cross is.

We have another round starting soon too.

I prefer this time @tempest myself. I feel like the days are going fast enough, but I feel like winter is dragging on and on. It’s storming now and will through Thursday I think. I’m not even sure anymore. It’s snowing, but the flood warning is still out there, or maybe it’s a watch now? They’ve done a lot to mitigate the damage, and maybe have enough stops in place that it won’t be so dramatic this second round. I hope so anyways.

I did finally come up with some leppies for my milk cow, so the last couple of days have revolved around that. They aren’t the healthiest bunch though sadly. The healthiest appearing died the first night by getting stuck in an ice ledge. The other two we purchased have some sort of illness, and then I got one from our place today who is currently a ball of fire. She’s cute as can be. I’m hoping she doesn’t pick up what the other two have, but it seems like the likelihood. I’ve never brought outside calves in before, and might learn my lesson the hard way. I hope not as we are now on top of it, but the sickest will be a struggle to get through the other side. It might be a bit late to save her.

@Horse & Dog Mom I think it gets into the ground, and that’s why you see it in a less extreme place more, just because it was there already.

It’s not cold this morning. 31. It’s snowing though. The world is white again.
