I'm not so happy with this weebly phone app. Everytime I put in new pictures, older ones show up too! Sorry about that. Not sure how to avoid that. This app has a mind of its own. Hahaha.

I got up around 6 am and enjoyed the bright sky with stars and a tiny moon. After I fed the horses I fed the wild birds. They were all waiting and chirping loud. They know the routine! Very cute.
When I was at the first feeder , one of the pine Grosbeaks came SO close. She was not too worried about me and when I held out my hand with some seeds , she almost landed on my hand. She changed her mind and then sat on a branch just one step away from me while chirping. Awesome! I filled the feeder and hardly stepped away to do the other feeders when a whole bunch of grosbeak and redpoll started to eat. Soon the woodpeckers, chickadees and the blue Jays were having breakfast too. It is a busy feeder. :) My neighbor Ben cut some more trees and got me a few more loads of fire wood. Thanks Ben! The snow plough came and I'm happy with a clean yard and driveway. The snow banks are pretty high! But they do make good bird feeders. I just climb up the snow bank and at the top I put seeds. Many feeders I used before I can't reach because of the snow banks but this works great too. :-) We had lots of snow and the second day after, the snow plough came to clear the driveway and yard.
In the back of the cabin there is deep snow and the weather was so nice that I decided to go snow shoeing. Well , not as easy dobe as said. Hahaha. I sunk in very deep and it was hard to do. But I walked for 10 minutes. Great excersize! With the cold gone I could work with the horses. That was fun as always. I learned I really have to have a good plan in my mind so I don't confuse my horse. I want Flicka to move towards me but she didn't get what I asked because I asked it too poorly. She offered several behaviors like side passing, disengage hind and fore quarters and of course she got a bit frustrated with me . I almost coukd hear her sigh and think: ok lady, I am trying but can't figure it out. Give me a break. Lol. So I did. Now I have a better plan in mind and will work with her today. This morning there was another load of snow so I will need to shovel. It's very mild outside so that will be fun. I had water and fed the horses and Freya stood by me at the fence . We had a quiet and peaceful time together, where she would nuzzle me and rest her head into my two hands with her nose against my coat. So beautiful. Here some pictures of one of my walks. Also the tracks of Scruffy in the snow. You can compare them with tbe wolve teacks. wolf tracks go straight while dog tracks wander and as you can see, Scruffy drags her back feet. :) |
