February - Got Snow?

First week

2nd week

Just filling a bird feeder can be a challenge with so much snow.  The bird bath can still be seen week one.  The top of it is visible in week 2 and it's totally buried after that.  I have to dig down to the can we keep the feed in.  It's sort of fun walking through our snow blowed aisle ways that we have to get to places such as the wood pile or bird feeders.  

3rd week

First week

We thought we were pushing the snowbanks back far enough to start but we didn't.  Now the banks are well into the area of gravel so John has been parking where we normally have lawn.  What a mess this will be come spring.  That bank is solid and 20 feet thick now.  We've done our best to keep things cleaned up and spent a LOT of time plowing this winter.  But it is quite a snow load we'll be working with for some time to come.

Beautiful snow

Who needs a fence?

King has never had it so good though.  His pasture is no good to him with all the snow.  About 3 feet, give or take with the drifting snow...so he's been spending time in the area we snowplow to get out to the shed.  This has given him quite a lot of room to move around compared to other snowy winters we've had.  Still.  He'd be happier if we could find a way to go riding.  We'll have to wait a little longer.  We did do some "driveway dressage" recently but it was more of "driveway rodeo" on a horse who wanted to GO.  So waiting is what it will be for now.

When will it be spring?
