Enough of the wind already!

Holy mackerel, it is so flipping windy, and has been for days now. Warmer, yes it is warmer. Melting snow, sure we have that. Too windy to go outside though, you need weighted boots to stay upright and to stop you from partaking in an impromptu flight (or tumble through the icy mud puddles). The poor donkeys, they hate all of this wind, they are not happy. Lots of heehawing going on, they are refusing to leave the shelter, can't say that I blame them. Dise, undaunted by the blusteryness, has turned into a mud monster, yay. That horse cannot stay clean to save her life, I am sure she is part hippo, she loves to wallow. Right now I am not sure what I dislike the most, snow or mud. Both are annoying, both make it difficult to get things done outside. At least the snow hides all the poos! Now that they are uncovered it is more than obvious that we have a lot of scooping and cleaning to do when the ground is dry enough to get a bobcat into the pens. Yay! :) Waiting for the monsoons now, that seems to be the way things go around here, we usually end up with lakefront property in the spring lol. So much for the dry, bald prairie. Haven't seen evidence of that for a few years now. Theme tune for the last few springs has been "The truck got stuck" by Corb Lund, fingers crossed I can choose a new song this year!
