Nothing better than a bluebird spring day for skiing.

Nothing better than a bluebird spring day for skiing.

Mary Ann volunteered to help me with my canine agility jumps yesterday and in the morning she sent me an email that said “We have brand new baby lambs!” Oh my gosh, how sweet is that? The twin boys were born yesterday morning just hours before I arrived! And they were already walking around and sniffing things and getting to know each other and their mother. One has longer wavy hair and the other tightly curled hair with brown legs and brown spots. Really, they are just so cute! Who doesn’t love baby animals? And yesterday was a gorgeous bluebird day for a birthday celebration. Mary Ann said by today they will be bouncing around. I can picture them bouncing in today’s first day of Spring snowfall!
Hello world!
Who are you?
He looks thoughtful
Everything is a new experience
Still needs a little bit of cleaning
Oh look – a blue bucket. What’s a blue bucket?
And orange twine
Ahhhh, shucks.
Yesterday, St Patricks Day, another four inches of snow fell! Much as I love winter and snow, I am ready for Spring. The weather gurus say this wet weather pattern will continue into next month although with maybe more rain and less snow. And after that, more typical spring weather, whatever that means.
As always, the fresh new snow was beautiful and now it’s melted and there is mud in the cleared areas.

Likin’ these lichens.

Today the driveway is mud again

Across the valley
MVSTA said that today is probably the last day of grooming at Big Valley this season. Only one thing to do. Luna and I headed up valley to take advantage of the day.

Love those curls. Next week, Luna gets a hair cut.
I discovered that the snow in the field was still firm enough for skiing so off we went. It was great – nearly effortless skate skiing.

I keep imagining that one day I will see green when I wake up.
