Another Spring day = another Winter storm

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

 which is unfortunate, because it's the 35th day of Spring.

 We were visited last night not by Santa Claus but by Winter Storm Zeus

 who left an additional 8 inches of snow, making this not only the snowiest April  but also the snowiest month on record.

 Some critter left tracks heading south -- probably in search of a genuine Spring.

 Exactly one year ago we sat in the lawn chairs to watch

 Lassi stretching for greener pastures

 Momo and Chou Chou walking through the salad

 the whole herd headed out to the big pasture to nibble on budding trees

 and Cheeky with a spring in her step.

 This year she views the endless winter with disbelief.

 The not-yet-one-week-old boys, Myky

 Rosado

 and Chorizo are confined by the weather to the barn

 but are doing fine -- even after disbudding.

 The older girls, Geisha

 and Viva

 have been getting out

 to tear up and down the shoveled driveway.

 

 

 They must be snacking on flubber 

 

 because they spend most of the time in the air.

 

If we could harness that energy

we could go off the grid.
