April Snow

Friday morning the mountain was white and on Saturday morning the snow had moved down to us

I love the snow, but then again, I don't live where it hangs around for 4 or 5 months.

We've always had to get out in it because you can't manage a ranch from inside. There was always ice to break (this was 2015 - on DH's birthday)

And livestock to feed

Ranching in the desert, you're always thankful for any moisture and  since we no longer have 128,000 acres to traverse and tend to, we were able to soak in the magic of snow in the mountains...even if the mountains are hidden at the moment.

I put on a pot of Hambuger Vegetable Soup   

                                 

And Skeet and I ventured out to chore

Checked in on the baby chicks...they are growing so fast. DH had installed a little roost for them.

While he worked in the shop on the hay fork he's building

And I puttered in my sewing room 

And then I took some time to read the Quiltfolk issue on New Mexico. I bought it for myself in January and hadn't even peeked at it until now

It was a good day to do that. We ended up with 8"

And then we ventured back out to tend to evening chores...someone was very eager to do so...he adores the snow

It was a very good day!
