Red in the Morning.....

This morning was one of those WOW mornings.  The sun coming up over the hill had the sky on fire or so it looked.  Even the snow was cast with pink and purple hues.  Like always it changed so quickly and then the show was over.  It didn't take long for the clouds to gather with a low ceiling.  It meant one thing, snow was about to fall and it did, all day.  Still I was watching out the windows and still thinking how beautiful and peaceful the view was.  Even the horses enjoyed the snow their backs had quite a covering of snow.  They can go in their stalls or stand under their porch roof but they prefer the wide open space.  After all they are animals and grazers, us humans just seem to forget and every once in a while think we know what's best for them.   When the temperatures get cold the horses get frisky, running and bucking the length of the pasture.  I know Smokey is one horse that could put fear in the rider with the speed he goes.  He's a Wild Man.  Gracie, well I'll just say she is laid back and slower.

Most of the day we were in the basement cleaning and sorting the dump closet.  When I say dump everything gets dumped in it until there is no room left to dump.  We had quite a few bags that will go to the real dump.  I even finished sorting holiday and season decorations.  DONE for another few years.  We even took stock of what is in the freezer for the rest of the winter and found out more green peas and corn next summer will be put up.  Getting low.

  After lunch we headed out for a walk with the dogs, picked up Dick's game camera and chose another spot to hang it.  The back field is bordered with the wood line and there were many tracks and trails made by deer and coyote that we could tell.  Smaller tracks were probably fox and Bobcat but the fresh snow made is impossible to tell.  Unfortunately I didn't wear my snowshoes, somebody said.......I don't think the snow is deep.......yes it was and yes I should have worn them.  Tomorrow for sure.  We want to walk up our valley to see what is going on.

A good hot cup of JMC while the meatloaf is baking, finish the blog and then my favorite time of the day, supper.   Meatloaf, homemade pasta tossed with leek butter made last spring and fresh out of the freezer today, also beet greens  from the freezer.

Homemade pasta, 1 egg to a cup of flour.
