Yikes!!!

I cannot believe it has been since November since I have written a blog post.

How very lazy of me.

I have not really been “farm” inspired as of late and it’s not like I can make EVERY blog post about Evie June (grand baby) – while I love that little Cookie with every fibre of my being – it would get old for the readers.

I did not even with a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year!!! Shame on me.

That is if I have any left!!!

Inspiration has not been here on our farm lately.

It’s been mundane and boring an same old same old – get up  – feed horses – feed chickens – feed ducks – feed cats.

Worry about hay quantities – worry about money – worry worry worry.

Stuck in a rut I guess.

Tonight – well – I got a kick in my fat ass whilst slugging back from the barn in the thigh deep snow.

It was so reminiscent of our very first winter here- November 25th – 2013.

Can’t believe it has been 6 years!!! WTH!!!!

Well -these last couple of days of Mother Nature’s wintry blast sure made me realise a couple of things.

1. Hubs still gets called out in the wee hours of the morning.
2. My truck is typically still buried.
3. My calves are still aching an my lungs still burning – NOTE quitting smoking has helped.
4. Ponies still “Lord of the Dance” in the deep snow.
5. Heating this “barn” don’t cost no 600 bucks a month anymore – thank you propane
6. I still love our life.

We got crapped on with snow – more so than in the city – the driveway is thigh high  – blessed be great neighbours for making a path so we can get in and out until Hubs has enough sleep in his system to finish the job.

And then I went out to do night feed.

The wind has dropped.

The sky is crystal clear and the moon so big and so bright I swear I can reach out my hand and grab it!!!

And then it dawned on my thick head – RIGHT!!! – you get it now dumb ass!!!

Look at that sky!! – have you ever seen a sky just like that – right at this moment right now?

No!!!

Where’s my phone?? Where’s my phone??

And breath – why try and capture it on a substandard phone camera when it is right in front of your eyes and you have that shuttered in your brain now?

Not sure – don’t care.

I do know that I remember all that fun I had back when we moved here and I love every moment of the crunch of the snow and the air so cold it took your breath away and how every thing was just exactly what I had dreamt of my whole life.

And then I came inside and wrote it all down before I forgot how good I felt.

Sure the weather sucks – it’s cold and it’s snowy.

But look at that moon!
