Cold Abating

ice flow

Cold abating under a crystal blue sky, sun smiling with slanting shadows, beside the driveway ice flow Rev has rediscovered the frozen rodent remains only to have Lancer obscure the prize under healthy black hooves, filled with snow making slippery footing – the potential ice skating must be grand with these favorable conditions – though not really perceptible yet the days are stretching light longer and the nights shrinking shorter.

Sharp Edge of Winter

sun rising

Crushing cold seeming to slow the rising sun, relenting winds slow to finger numbing from bone chilling, braving breakfast under clear bluing sky, the stark and sharp edge of winter – expected to dull in coming days – still honed for a biting morning of single digit temps stinging bare skin, punishing paws, merely fluffing a super insulated coat fueled by filling the tank with hay.

Delivering an Icy Start

icy

Was it late last night – or early this morning – dogs stood alert on the bed and we listened to the eerie high pitched yipping screams that were brought forth with chilling winds ripping across the frozen reservoir, delivering the icy start to a cold that has spread an unmoving hardness deep into the ground and slickened, smoothing the water of yesterday into slippery sheets frosted with a light white coating; after a brief inspection, wind lifting mane, Lancer returns to the shelter of the stall to breakfast within.

Ghostly Winter Morning!

cloud
Cloud of saturated air quieting the liquid sounds of water dripping from the roof, flowing into the full catch basin to the drain and filling the little pond, slippery paths and a wet sheet of ice over the driveway, sloppy slush mixing with manure in the pasture, ghostly fog misting contrast and temps gently releasing moisture from the ground, happy hay eating and welcoming a new week.

A Cold Kiss

kiss cu
Quite a wind under bright blue skies, the hay burner efficiently heating, a cold kiss from Winter leaves a bone chilling feel while the sunlight only suggests any warmth, chickens huddled in a pile overnight now clucking and crowing to bring in the morning.

Wicked Cold

annoyed
Finally out after spending the storm in the barn, eating lots of hay, fluffed fully against a frigid wind blasting, freezing paws and short black coats cannot contend with coercive cold driving dogs to lay in front of the stove, warm fresh water by sled from the kitchen will shortly harden to ice, a frozen egg cracked, patterns of powder like deserts as snow flies up in whirls spinning across the field.

Reporting snowfall, cold temps, water delivery and manure removal by sled over a building base of fresh powder, Winter’s clutching hands dragging us inside to fill the stove and savor our shelter, celebrating the New Year with a storm to challenge our will!

Passing Through

leaning in

Bright beginning to a new year, winter settling in with coldness despite the sun, the layer of ice now covered with a light sprinkling of white making it mostly slippery, Catalpa seed pods dancing in light breezes, Lancer fluffed in response to a the chill, Rev strolling through the hay pile caught in the sideways light, orange cat and white dog passing through the field below each in their own time, the constant path of past, present, future to move us all passing through.

Biting Brisk

coming out

Beauty blue with biting brisk, bright light reflecting sky hues to crispy snow crunching, quickly freezing filled buckets, sled skimming easily across icy ground, Lancer leaving a cold barn to munch among the nipping winds, noises breaking against the hard environment amplified with cracking sharpness.

Good Morning!

good morning2

Gusty gales whipping ice sheets off the greenhouse, electric fencer blowing fuses, water still in buckets – not frozen – paddock hardening into slippery patches, Rev is back with an exuberant greeting after a brief attempt at a roll on the remains of a rodent found in the crusting snow, sunlight’s slanted rays striving to rise in and out of clouds and bring forth the changing day.
