Well, the snow arrived just like predicted. I noticed the flurries about 3:30 Saturday afternoon, so I decided to get chores done and everyone where they needed to be.
Sky came out with me to do chores
These four are pretty easy to get in. That’s because I’m giving them sweet feed once I get them shut in.
Ava, Dee and Wanda; Antigone in the door
I still have to put Antigone in her own area so she doesn’t get picked on. But she goes in willingly and seems content. She’s not alone, and she’s safe and gets sweet feed.

By the time I got them settled in, the snow had picked up.
Can you see Skittles in the doorway?

Everyone got their hay. I took a minute or two to enjoy the beauty.

It was long enough for the dog to get plenty covered in snow.

But he got to come in and nap on a nice warm bed. By the next morning, we’d had another eight inches (give or take).

I started scooping my paths. I did make sure that the dog had all the patio and deck so he doesn’t have to get ice balls in between his pads.

But I’m pretty sure that I am ready for spring. Seriously.
