Sorry none of the pictures match the post, but I just haven’t had a week that let me take pictures every day.  So…  This week has had crazy weather.  Monday morning I went back to work and had to deal with black ice–there was frost that melted and then refroze.  It made for a bit of dicey driving.

I finally had a collage printed on metal from Oct, 2024’s northern lights. My dad made the frame.

Tuesday morning brought a dense fog advisory.

Monday evening had an amazing sunset!

Wednesday morning had more fog, but it was frozen fog.  How I wish I didn’t leave before dark because it would have been some amazing photos.  Then we had a new record high of 60°F in the afternoon.

Seriously amazing.

Today is rain.  Lots of rain–around an inch for my area, which would be a foot of snow.  Luckily (in a bizarre ignore global warming way) our ground is thawed, so it should soak in instead of washing and flooding.

Tomorrow is transition day–cooler and snow coming overnight and into Saturday.  I think we’ve had every season in this one week.  And because we still haven’t had a good ground freeze for going on our third winter, it still means we probably have crazy horrible bacteria and parasite levels.  And I don’t want to lose any babies this year.

Melba is due in April

After consulting with the vet, we’re going to proactively treat my girls who are due in March and April.  I hope we good a good freeze and I don’t have to worry about it with my ones who are getting bred for June.
