May Day?

Hmmm I think we just passed by spring, summer and fall and went right back to winter. Not so bad this morning - just rainy. But by the time I came home, the roads were ice and slush. I passed one car that had slid off the road (well, 3 wheels had, the fourth wheel was in the air!). Hopefully she had help coming. A truck was stopping as I went by. Whew! Only 40 mph tops.
Horses were happy to get inside. We hurried as much as we could but 3 dogs left big messes for Jacky to clean up first since I was running late at work. The ponies came in covered in  slush, ice and snow. Poor things! Here is a scene out our window this evening -

If you look at the foreground you can see Trixie having a good roll in the snow. One of her favorite things!

Out the back window it was even prettier - 

The birds were really hungry tonight. I had to put new suet in (the grackles and starlings are eating everything) because the woodpeckers were getting desperate. In the front yard I had some new visitors - Mourning Doves!They just showed up this week and I'm sure they're wondering why didn't they stay south!!

Finally, I took a picture pof Truely, Aren's cat. She's much more comfortable now - finally remembering that she grew up here! Still tends to hide in the room though but that's fine since she's recovering from surgery. Don't tell Emma but she's staying in her room and gets into trouble all the time, just like her brothers!

This is Truely meeting her brother Sambo. Notice Uli on the sofa trying to get his long nose in on everything. It's hard to do with a splint on your leg! On the sofa is the other brother, Eli, who's snoozing away.

One last note - yesterday I spent taking pictures outside of spring - first buds, first leaves, first rhubarb....What a differnce 24 hours make!!!!
