Spring, yeah, not here

A week into spring and I'm cold.  I'm tired of being cold!  Today is windy and COLD.  Sigh.  Really has put me in a BAD mood.  Would love to get out and hike with the dogs, but it's too damned cold.  I mean, I don't mind this kind of cold during the real winter, when I can put my snow shoes on and go for a stroll.  But this, can't hike, can't snow shoe, can't easily ride the horse from the house.  AND, it's suppose to snow all weekend.  Sigh.

Aside from that, there are lots of birds in the yard and I am enjoying watching them.  Grey squirrels have been playing in the yard, which, while fun to watch, I don't trust them not to do a lot of damage.  The Golden Mantels will be back soon, then I'll have to consider getting a cat, which will chase the birds off as well.  Ah, maybe I'll luck out and the ground squirrels won't come back.  Hmmm, I'll have to check to see if maybe the grey squirrels chase them off.  If they do, I may take a liking to them and let them stay.  I know they chase the red squirrels off, cause they did yesterday.  Hmmm.

Thinking that maybe, just maybe, spring was close by, I set up my outdoor grooming and trimming station for the horses.  Managed to get one horse trimmed before it turned nasty.  I much prefer to do them outside rather than in the barn.

So, time to do some work inside the house.
