Mean Cold Continues

adore

Cold hardens the sound of the woodpecker knocking, bounces the cardinals song across the field, amplifies the screech from the gang of bluejays terrorizing the neighborhood, icy crunching hoofsteps out beyond the ice pile to find extra flakes of hay, vivid bluest sky in terribly clear dry air continuing the biting chill, deceiving light without any warmth except to saturate the few colors and deepen reflected shadows.

Stark Beginning

detail

Stark beginning to another cold day, spotty clearing in the sky, no snow falling, no snow melting, some very subtle signs of spring if you look really hard, hay is holding up, Rev still delighted with clumping poopsicles, Jays enjoying shriveled crabapples, Sterling the cat still sleeping away the stubborn Winter days.

Shedding Confirmed!

Mild, moist air greeting cardinal song and blue jay squawk, awakening very light snowfall, icy paths frosted and slippery, shedding confirmed and hoofs growing to indicate the coming of a new season, gray day nor cold can dispute the March of time towards the bounty of Spring!

The March Lion

Marvelous cold to welcome the March Lion, sunshine struggling with partly cloudy skies, light winds whisper of Winter and not of Spring, hibernating warm-up waiting to wake-up, earlier rising and later setting sun reminding us of what will follow as we await the Lamb.

This too shall pass…

jump

A warning nip with flattened ears, ripping wind causing eyes to tear, clear song calling from cardinal red, high in treetops from overhead, against the deeply bluing sky, bright bird repeats its lonely cry, shadows long under mornings light, freezing temps with a wintry bite, cold season still is holding fast, though – as with all things – this too shall pass.

The Crust Thickens

heading to the barncu

Bright and blue sunny sky, morning full of flocking chickadees with cheery song, sun warming (just barely) and reddening the shedding winter coat, looking for hay while the crust thickens, Rev running rambunctiously, cold wind still delivering winter with whipping chill.

February’s Lion

run away

A changeable morning without sun, then with, still cold temps chasing paws along icy paths, subtly chilly wind keeping our world hard in the last of February’s Lion, the approach to March a test of New England resilience and attitude, hoofs growing and coat still shedding promises changes coming soon!

Oh Revvy!

north

It is another “Oh Revvy” moment in the shadowy north side of the barn, pasture looking messy in contrast to the white of snow, cold wind belaying the idea of warmth created by the lengthening light of day, birds are bravely emerging from where ever it is they have been all winter, buckets remain freezing and chickens inside, partly cloudy, breezy and gray.

Knee Deep

deep snow

Knee deep and well crusted snow, winds whipping shadows and clouds to and fro, approaching cold coming in like the tide, the harbinger of Spring has apparently died!

Slight Shedding!

shedding

Gentle winter warmth melting, shrinking, disappearing blanket revealing dormant little grass spots along paths, mudding driveway, making ice-flows layering slippery slopes, slight shedding showing with long hairs dropping and matting on Lancer’s fuzzy back, a temporary reprieve from February’s hold.
