Day: January 13, 2017

Friday the 13th and the wolf moon! All creatures were on alert … especially the Guinea roosters. (Video clip above – viewable on my blog site)

Busted! Bella spotted me walking on the laneway.

Follow the yellow hay road

Hmmm … ice seems to be a perfect excuse for letting donkey poop mature!

Cleaned out the barn and used the wood chips to make a pathway to the water.

Chip is certain that blue mat is after him!

Taking a closer look…

Teddy’s condo

Sparrow hopping on the ice

Goldfinches scavenging uncovered seeds

They sure look little in the middle of the snow.

Morning Dove

Cold … but sunny! Love these sunny days. Our set up is great for winter. The jennies can get out of the wind no matter what direction it is coming from. This morning they were down at the front paddock soaking up the sun while curled into the hay beds under the shelter. When I met up with them this afternoon they had made their way to the back. They knew I had a treat for them and let me know in no uncertain terms that they could not get to me over the icy patches. I had made a pathway for them yesterday to the water. But that was as far as they could get. So this afternoon I spent my time scattering salt and spreading more wood chips and hay where it could freeze and make a much better footing. I will be kicking myself come time for the spring clean up. I will just have to flick back and look at the pictures from this month. We are in for another mild spell … so even more glare ice is in the future. Yikes!
