We got a big 7″ dump of heavy, wet snow earlier this week. If there’s one good thing about spring, at least the snow doesn’t hang around for long. I believe this was the last snow of the season. As usual, every year when I say it’s the last snow in early April, Very Excellent Husband Don tells me no way. I’m happier with my own self-delusions, however, so the last snow it is!
Beautiful, yes. Heavy in a shovel, also yes.
I shoveled a path, also known as the Doinktona 500, in the barnyard after morning feeding. By early afternoon, it was already mostly melted and the animal children had come out to play.
Doink leads the way. It takes a while for him to pull over so others can pass. How rude of him!
He has now pulled over. I think he just wanted me to take his picture. He’s such a ham. (HAHA!)
Hey! Wait for me!
(Imagine the voice of a sportscaster…) And they’re all together as they come around Turn 3! OMG! Looks like the pig may be in a spinout!
Nope. He’s just fine. And gorgeous. Isn’t he gorgeous? Look at that tail!
There’s an unexpected hazard at the finish line, because Brandy has no sense of the rules of the game. But she’s got great ears, so we still love her.
All the photographs are slightly out of focus. Sometimes it’s me. Sometimes it’s Jessie CONSTANTLY shoving me around…
If. I. Can. Just. Get. To. The. Treat. I’ll. Stop. Pushing. You. Promise.
Here’s to the arrival of spring. Because after spring comes summer, my favorite season. And mostly, here’s to somehow winding up with the best animal friends in the world living in my barnyard.
I know I say this all the time, but I am so lucky.

Spring snow is simply a reality around here – but it melts in a day. My kind of snow!
That was just GREAT! Thank you so much for a fun and funny adventure!
Those crazy animals do keep me laughing!
Your snow is so gorgeous! Looks like the animals enjoyed it…..! We just got our last snow, and we certainly need it for reserves in the mountains, so we were grateful…. 🙂

Here’s to the last snow! (Your pillow is AWESOME!)
Wow – more snow?! It’s been a very mild winter here in Italy and I’m so glad Spring has finally arrived. Two years ago we had six feet deep snow for three solid weeks – yuk. My husband also dug a path out of it for us, the dogs and the chickens – it took him two solid days. Loving your super-pigway path! 🙂
Six feet!? Oh my, that’s a lot of snow! I’m happy spring has come to you 🙂
I really love your blog it usually always makes me smile. I hope it is the last snow. I love all our animals too and it is nice to see how much you love yours!

Thanks for stopping by – good luck with your planting!
It amazes me how in sync people who have never met in “real life” can be… I love the Doinktona 500! Everyone looks happy and glad the snow is melting fast for you in fact, it may be already gone? We sure are a couple super happy and blessed peeps aren’t we friend. Happy Monday!

It is totally gone and I will be out doing some needed upgrades and repairs in the barnyard today! Yippee!
That’s a riot seeing them all following the path! Thanks for sharing this today on The Maple Hill Hop!
