A White Blanket

Snow! Wet, sticky snow.


The dogs love it. 

Everyone else hates it. Except the ducks seem to want to stand in it and freeze? So odd.


Sheep ventured out in case I had grain. Also to greet the returning Pippa.


Miss Pippa became a woman today. I drove her down to where I originally got her from (luckily before the snow started sticking much) to meet a handsome buck for all of 5 seconds. 


If all goes well, there should be mini-Pippas in 145 days - May 10th. 

She was definitely in heat. We'd been showing her this 'buck rag' (a rag that had been rubbed on a buck's face) every day to see if she reacted to it. Yesterday, she started trying to bring it into the pasture with her and her tail was flagging like crazy. It was time!


Oprah's tail was also flagging, so I'm guessing she is also in heat and isn't pregnant this year.

Ducks. Just...entertaining.
