Never a dull day

Quite frankly, a lot of these "picture window" views will probably look boringly (is that a word?) the same, at least during the winter when there's no snow. Our yard can be rather dismal place in the dark, cold days of winter. That is until you start observing the little things.

Some how the snow has managed to disappate; it doesn't really seem like it has been warm enough for it to melt. Anyways, its gone now. The critters evidentally developed cabin fever after 2 days inside, because today they are all over the pasture foraging and just hanging out.


 















If you look closely, you can see the 2 large black spots in the far background of the photo. That is Hamburger and T-Bone on their way out to the North end of the pasture. My camera is kinda old school, and leaves much to desire in the zoom department, so black dots instead of actual cow butts is what you get. 

Everybody else was being less than photogenic, hiding behind the chicken house. The new trick for the day, both Ginny, the drama queen turkey, and our fabulous outdoor cat Henry have discovered that they can jump up on the stock tank box and get themselves a drink. Which is good for Henry because we don't have a heated water pan for him, but with Ginny, makes me a little nervous. It is way too easy for her to see how she could just flap her wings a little and be over that fence. Didn't have my camera with me when Ginny was on the box, but here's Henry:



















Though I didn't catch him drinking (need to be quicker with my camera). And had attracted the attention of Herschel who was wondering, as usual, why I have any right to be near his barnyard. But that's a story for another day.

Happy Friday!!!!
