Yesterday's snow is almost all gone! There was still snow on the ground when I hung out my clothes. And, there was still snow on the ground when I left (on my motorcycle.) By the time I got to the farm, almost all the snow was gone. I don't know if it was because they didn't get as much, or if it was just because it was warming up.
It's a muddy mess out at the farm again. I didn't even attempt to get my field cleaned up. There was just no easy way to do it. So, instead, I worked on cleaning the parking area. And, I've come to the conclusion that my horses are nuts. I decided to let the horses in there since the grass is coming up real nice in there. So, I got the wire set up, then opened the gate. Licorice watched me, but chose NOT to go thru the gate. However, if I didn't want her to go thru, she would have been out in a heart beat! So, I took off my belt, and walked up to Stormy. Put the belt around his neck and led him out. He was all excited to get out-for about 2 seconds. Then he realized Misty wasn't out there, so he ran back.
OK, I decided to take Misty out. After all, Story normally tries to follow me when I take her out. Well, today, he didn't! Misty was happy in there for about 10 seconds, then she ran out!
That left Licky. I got her out and she stayed out. I was hoping the other 2 would miss her and go looking for her. No such luck. And, Stormy needs the grass more than she does. So, I went and got Misty halter and lead, put them on her, and led her out. I then tied her to the trailer. I was heading back in to get Stormy's halter and lead when he came calling and looking for her. So, he came out in the parking area. I took her halter off, and they were all happy to be in there.
I did some more work in there, and I was getting hot! So, I decided to take their blankets off. I didn't bother to tie them up. Stormy was no problem. Then I took off Misty's. No problem. Then, I go to do Licky. Well, she didn't want me to come up near her. Then, she stopped for just a couple of seconds. I start getting her blanket unhooked. Stormy and Misty had moved, so they were near the gate going back into the field. Licky decides she's going to run into the field. And, when she started running towards the gate, the other 2 decided that's what they needed to do
At least Licky did stop once she got in there, and let me take her blanket off. But, none of them tried to come back out and I didn't feel like messing w/them again.
Got home, had some lunch, did some house work, then went outside. And, I got to play in the dirt! I honestly don't know if they'll come up or not, but I had a few packs of old seed peas. So, I planted them today! If they don't come up, I'm not going to worry about it. I don't have the time to go get seeds right now, nor do I have the money. If I don't get anything out of them, I'll get some new seeds later on, and plant them in the fall. I'll be working on getting the rest of the garden ready, and I'll be getting some onions planted soon. If not this week, then next week.
It felt so good. This is the first time in years I've had the chance to get anything in this early. I also took a short walk in the woods. I need to get some small, dead red cedars to use in the garden for supports. Just in the quick walk I took, I saw almost all that I need!
I also did more wood. I'm going to have to go and get at least another load. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to get in there easily. I can see leaves coming out on some shrubs. And, I'm not sure how bad the ticks are in there. I think from now on, I'm going to have to get a shower and wash my hair after going on there. I don't need to get Lyme's disease.
But, I had to stop on the way home and get some cheese for hubby, and there was a guy in there buying $100.00 worth of tickets!
