Went to bed with the sound of rain of the tin roof of the bunkhouse...only to wake to the silence of big fluffy snow falling upon the landscape!?! Apparently, Winter demands an encore...
There were some wet and hungry ponies this morning! The babies, usually shying from the crowd that gathers at the pickup truck while we load the hay, were VERY determined to sneak a pre-breakfast bite with the big horses!
The Maternity Ward is always excited for meal time!
It was peaceful for us to sit with our cups of coffee as we watched the momma's eat breakfast, looking for baby kicks and enjoying the scenery surrounding us.
The sounds of Spring mingled with the presence of Winter as birds chirped in the snow-dusted trees. The heavy flakes of snow would fall in such a rhythm as if the sky would hold its breath, slowing the falling snow for just a moment, and then appear to exhale and release its whiteness, obscuring our view of the mountain ridges. The air was crisp this morning, just above freezing, but we were warm in our layers and hot coffee in our grasp. Weather varying as pauses in the storm would allow melting to begin before Winter would take over again, as if Mother Nature was being indecisive on which season she preferred.
Though we're ready for Spring, it's always beautiful to see the snow fall in the mountains.
Breath taking! Absolutely beautiful!
