Oh goodie! Today it is 50 degrees with a 24 hour down pour rain on top of 40″ snow drifts melting onto frozen ground! That means instead of struggling to get to the barn with a shovel, I now have to go by canoe! All that water will be seeping into the barn turning it into a puddle of poopy straw as my miserable cold, wet animals plead with me to make it dry and cozy again! They will more and likely demand extra treats because mommy can’t fix the problem without our SUPER FARMER daddy! The only happy animals on the farm today will be the quackers, who for once will not be squawking at me in protest about the other animals ‘touching’ them! They will be outside paddling in all the deep ponds on the property that weren’t there yesterday. They will be happy as a Lark, even though they are ducks…just how happy are Larks anyway???
Oh my … it is hard to even ponder what the ‘melt’ is going to be like this year! This morning as I looked over our back fence it really sank in that there is waist high snow all over that back field that melts ‘THROUGH’ our back yard! I wonder if they make rubber boots for donkeys! 😉
