Yesterday was a crazy snowy day in May...The heavy wet stuff just kept coming down until mid afternoon...It was hard to tell just how much, 6 inches or 8 inches?...Herb and I kept clearing off the bushes and trees as much as we could...Slogged our way through the snow to put up a makeshift shelter for the goats, in our pasture...Put straw on the ground and alfalfa pellets in a feed pan...Goats especially need shelter when it is cold and wet...Of course they thought we were out there to play with them and they really wanted to get on top of the tarp after it was in place...They are fun to watch...Soon they were all bedded down in the straw and drying off.
Late afternoon it quit snowing, warmed up and melted nearly all of the snow before dark...This morning we have icy conditions and probably any hope for fruit this year is nil...Sun is shinning, grass is green and the lilacs are upright and still blooming...Spring/summer is still just around the corner... Hugs to All...OWAV:)
The goats said thank you!
