It's headless, severely emaciated, drastically shorter in stature and not really anything resembling a snowman, but still it remains. A visual reminder that Winter will not give up it's grip on this Ozark homestead and it mocks me every time I open the front door.
There were only a few spots of snow still on the ground before dark last night, but the thicker patches of ice no doubt remained, now being covered under a fresh blanket of sleet on which I will eventually step through, slip on, and end up on my rear end while attending to barn chores later this afternoon.
At least the poop soup slushy mixture will soon be frozen and if we do end up getting the 2" - 4" of snow forecast later today, the scenery will look cleaner than it does now with all the muck.
Not sure how I'm going to convince the goats to come out of their huts for feeding time. We'll see how hungry they are.
Ah, the joys of springtime in the Rockies. I mean Ozarks. ;o]
ReplyDeleteI almost cleaned my coop last night, but thought twice against it. It was a melting mess outside, but everything is froze again. Maybe in a few days I can get that ugly task done. I miss seeing my kids build snowmen. One year I made one myself.
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be some kind of clean up this spring. Besides buckets of dog 'business', the chicken coop is especially challenging this year! Good old snowman! Hope you don't get dumped on - but I'm with you on the nice blanket of clean.
