Barn Cats and Canadian Weather

Well the weather has been very cold. We have been having temperatures of -29 and then suddenly the next day it is +1 and then its really cold again! This pic was taken during one of our warmer days....I took Cricket and Blaze's blankets off for a while to let their skin get some fresh air. They both seemed to enjoy it. In fect Cricket would not let me put her blanket back on...but the next time I went out and it was -15 she gladly accepted it :)
ah good old Canadian weather...

Phoebe thought it might be fun to taste the cat. Little Mister was not too impressed with this plan. So he ran away from Phoebe and went into the hay bale in the llama field....

He was not safe there either!!! LOL Ebony thought she might like a closer look at him too.... ah the life of a a barn cat...!

Everyone, animals included is suffering from a bout of winter blues. Its a pretty boring time of year....can't ride; no grass; its cold; its wet; it takes forever to do things.... The horses seem pretty bored right now. I have been out working with them, but not riding much because of the ice. It is a crappy time of year, thankfully we should be getting to the end of this miserable cold soon.
Cher and Joe. Not a recent pic obviously :) But such nice green grass behind them. This is the weather I am dreaming about..... This pic was taken last April, and since tomorrow is March that means April is next month :) I posted this pic to get everyone's spirits up. The nice weather, the green grass, bright blue sky, no snow.....its coming!!!!! Not long now...thank goodness.
