First up, a good nap.
Next, I put a piece of fence wire across the end of the driveway and let the crew out to play on the snow-blowed paths.
Much running around and chaos ensued. I took video, but my computer continues to crash every time I try to upload any video.
I had lots of help all day....
Connor was absolutely appalled. A true-blue Border Collie, through and through.
you were fortunate. We had rain and flooding. sigh. I love the shot of them checking out the car.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your babies got the chance to nap in the sun, stretch their legs for a bit, and help you with your chores. I think I would have been laughing much of the time I was watching them enjoy themselves. Thanks for the smile.

A preview of good days to come. Have you been able to get out and go to work? That little bitty car doesn't look like it would be good for snowy roads.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you and yours at least got one day of respite. Hears hoping for many more and SOON!!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the animals out in the snow.
how awesome you let them exercise in the driveway! very cool!
ReplyDeleteAll those lovely creatures... enjoying the -- what? FIRST decent day this year?!? I would say that by now you double-deserve the most perfectly beautiful spring, summer, fall and (next) winter in history! Sending melting thoughts...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Is it a leash that kept Connor back at the house (lest the true-blue BC try to clean up the "chaos"...)?
ReplyDeleteNo, that is just what he deemed to be a safe distance. He has a dog door in the side of the house and ducked in and out to keep an eye on things.:)
DeletePretty prudent. :)
DeleteWow, you've certainly had your work cut out for you; that's a LOT of snow you've moved. (It's sort of appropriate that when I started to type this I accidentally hit the letter e instead of w at the end of wow, so it said woe.) The sky over your house looks ominous, too. I hope the blue skies we see a peek of are headed your way. It's about time at least for some sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously enjoyed their stroll in the sun :)
ReplyDeleteAhh sunshine and warmer temps! They look like they were totally ready to get out and get some much needed play time!
ReplyDeleteOh they must have loved that! Be careful though, they will keep expecting that to be their new stomping grounds.
ReplyDeleteSo good they could get out for a walk !! My donkeys are stuck inside the stable at the moment due to too much rain... They just can't get through the mud in the paddock..
ReplyDeleteI hope the snow you have will soon disappear !
What a great idea! Your driveway looks pristine. We are freezing here and the horses were in until 2:30. -25 windchill but now the sun is out. Our hydrant in the barn is frozen. Just what we need. It worked fine last night and now we can't use it. Guess we will be hauling water from the house. What did you do to defrost yours? Didn't you have a frozen pipe awhile ago? I am so beyond reaching my capacity!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your blog so much. I live in relatively temperate North Carolina and I am so impressed by that driveway. If I had done that much work, I would want the rest of the year off. How is Ramsey's foot handling the cold? I am currently rehabbing a rotated laminitic Welsh pony and the cold has been a bit of a trial.
