Ice whiskers are a new daily feature of our mornings, this winter is focused and determined, it hangs on and on, and many parts of the country have been hit harder than we have here.  I think the animals adapt more easily than we do, they cling to the Pole Barn go out and soak up the sun when they can, they still want their daily carrots, their treats, we brush them for as long as we can stand to be outside. This morning it was 10 degrees, 20 degrees higher than it was yesterday.

I can hear some spring songbirds outside of the window, they are starting to show up, the sun is higher and brighter in the sky, I feel Spring creeping just around the corner.
