More snow

We had more snow this weekend. When you think you are finally in mud season and moving towards spring, a foot of snow is a disappointment in a way. Having to shovel out the driveway again is tough to deal with. You start to wonder when it will end. Back when we worked at the nursery out here, it would do this to us every February. We’d be called in for a week, then snow would set in and it would be weeks before we called back in. You’d screw up your unemployment and it was a month before you’d get your first check from the nursery. I guess you could say that we weren’t too surprised at this snow. Like I told Jeffrey that night “I guess the nursery won’t be calling us back any time soon.” (They closed out the nursery many years ago. When they closed down the woods, there was no reason to grow seedling trees to replace the ones they cut.)

The goats are disappointed. They had gotten used to going up and browsing every day. There’s too much snow for that so they are stuck in the pen. We think at least two of the goats are pregnant. The nubian, Glory, is likely three months along. We think Maddie may be pregnant too. I’ll know more when I work on their hooves this weekend.
