WARNING: :shock: 21 photos

Yesterday morning was beautifully hazy with no wind. I took advantage of the opportunity to climb the closest windmill to loosen the spring, having noticed the last windy day that the wheel was turning too fast. I also climbed to the top of the cake bin to see when more cake will be needed. Having the camera in my pocket, I took photos from both locations.

Earlier I had led our two-year-old heifers to a nearby pasture and fed them hay. Saddletramp came over to help Peach Blossom and I run these heifers through the chute to give them a Scourgard vaccination. The corrals were dusty to start with, but before we were through a "mini-blizzard" came along. Big fluffy snowflakes were in the air, and soon there was an inch of wet snow covering the ground. We came in for dinner with the white stuff still falling, but it soon let up. By mid-afternoon, the snow was all melted off and the sun was shining.

Here are the pictures to prove it.
