The little bit of snow that we got on Friday was mostly gone on Saturday. I took the opportunity to work some more on my outdoor decorations.
I had been eyeing this little grove of white pines along the driveway. It looked like they needed some thinning.
My big pots were looking pretty bare.
But not anymore, instant trees.
Since I didn't replace the fence in the border garden I thought I would add some height to it too.
Now I have a temporary forest.
And I added one to the arrangement at the side door.
I finished it off with a few shatterproof ornaments.
And I added some bows to the potted trees. Everything looked great until...
Monday, when we got 4-5 inches of heavy, wet snow.
I help Joe shovel out the feed troughs and forgot about the farrier coming. I had not caught Otoelene and she was up on the steep hill in front of the house. She apparently did not like me slipping, falling and flailing my arms around trying not to slide down the hill. It was the first time that I can remember that she was difficult to catch. The farrier said he had canceled all of his other appointments so he didn't mind the little extra wait.
After I turned her back out I checked on Clyde and Hugo. I have turned them together now and they are getting along fine. You may notice that Clyde's tail is still braided. I probably need to take that out sometime.
Even though the snow was cold, wet and slick, it was still pretty.
