Friends , Romans, Farm Owners…I. AM. CALLING. IT!!!
Spring- while not official has arrived here at Orange Acres.
How do I know? I don’t actually – because quite frankly given the date – it’s not likely possible and given Mother Nature’s mood swings as of late – who knows right?
My gut – and incredibly muddy back hallway tell me that it has.
Rudy the Robin has been visiting daily.
The lane way is a mucky mess.
We have our Lake Orange gracing out front paddock – I call it Lake Orange because of the nice horse poop/urine orange tint to it. Note to hubs – we need to start pumping that out this weekend.
Sally Sump Pump has been going off every 15 minutes since I got home – yes I’ve been timing her.
The air is alive with the smell of Pepe.
I saw AND heard a massive flock of geese.
For the first time since December I’d like to say my horses are nekkid!! No blankets.
I am covered head to toe in Girl Horse hair from her shedding.
The house flies who have been dormant are starting to make their way out of the walls – yes – house flies – uggghhh.
And well – I just feel it in my bones.
Coupled with the gloriousity that is TIME CHANGE this weekend – yep – it’s here.
Let the mud season begin!!!
