Freezing Rain, Mud and A Ray Of Sunshine

The snow is all gone and now we have freezing rain. 

There is about a quarter inch of ice on everything.  Breaking limbs sound like gunshots.  

Unfortunately, not all the moisture is frozen.  Therefore, there is an abundance of mud. 

I think the animals have had enough of this winter too.  

Frozen net wrap is harder to remove.  Frozen gate latches are harder to open.

And it is impossible to stay dry even with all the rain gear.  

Plus, Hank has been surprising us lately with some visits to the yard. 

Although he looks handsome standing there, a 1200 pound horse walking around in a soaking wet yard isn't so good for the turf.  Lots of divots now.  

So out you go Hank. 

Now for the Ray Of Sunshine!  

V brought S over for a visit yesterday.  She is an angel.  She was enough to perk up even grandpa.
