Dogs unable to outrun the extreme cold as the sun struggles up into clearing blue skies, a light white dusting (possibly) fell overnight, no snow registering on the hoof-o-meter, seems as if one of the herd has taken the snow to the south with her (!), any water that was – is now – a solid chunk, birds disappearing after a short visit during the thaw, light wind biting bitterly, abundant hay will efficiently warm the horse and even in the inhuman environment – he thrives!

Chilly start under gray sky with feeble attempts by the sun, nipping wind stealing feeling from bared skin, a cold calm before the storm, frozen buckets are back, the ice pile growing again, chickens remain imprisoned by their own volition while winter prepares its next event.

Windy approach to the hay pile and mining the avalanches for crabapples knocked down by the robins, a gray morning blown away revealing the sun amidst birdsongs as a last reprieve from colder days to come.

Colorless in the field, Lancer mixes with snow in the scenery, using his nose to expose what very little remains, soon to be covered with the white blanket as flakes fill the air, busy birds gathering too and the songs are a welcome sound in the hush, robins occupying the crabapple showing the only signs of color while knocking avalanches off the branches in pursuit of the fruit in the bleak and graying, day.

Absorbing sun, nearing the end of this blissful treat of a January thaw, hay abandoned  in favor of finding fresh grass morsels, dog chasing crows in the field and running off the neighbor’s dog, robin flock fluttering up and away, ice patches the ground here and there, though not lush with green – still – color fills the usually gray winter landscape, savoring these gifts of warm, keep the thought of them close for soon Winter will wile its way back.

Life leaping from remarkable January temps, nice to see the ground again with its mud coat over the frozen earth, rippling puddles of water with ice underneath, light rain spitting now and then, chickens eating cheese and roaming around outside; a soft and gentle winter day reminding us that spring will come.

Splashes of orange and blue adorning the brown ground as robins and jays search for food, frozen and unyielding, not much grass for grazing, partly cloudy above with slightly milder temps, winds abating leaving a comfortable environment, maybe even melting just a little bit!

Wind briskly cranking clouds across the blue pushing treetops and tail, ground with wounded grass appearing everywhere along with dog and horse sign, robins investigating, cat outside after self imposed imprisonment, lively, invigorating, lovely January thaw kind of day!

A mild and moisture laden morning – forming clouds upon the ground,
Southern winds across the field load warmth, swirling all around,
Lancer finds his way through icy patches – heading out for hay,
Chickens venturing outside to see if spring might have found its way,
Rooster crowing, hens are clucking, leaving a warm egg where they lie,
Mist rising from the hardened earth while also falling from the sky!

Snow this morning putting on a slippery coat and spitting again early this afternoon daring us to forget it, milder temps improving moods, a small flock of robins swinging through, a squirrel awakening in his race with winter to sprint across the icy yard and leap upon an oak, dogs obliviously fighting and chasing – neither to win as they both get fed (http://www.feedthewhitedog.com/) while Lancer looks on in peaceful, munching repose.
