Yards of snow

###############
Friday the 29th of January, Ground Control came and cut back the overgrown plants in my front yard. Bob had done tile work for Donny and they bartered.

They pruned...

They dug my roses and re-planted them near the side porch...

The wisteria got cropped down to the trellis and the lilacs cut down..the hydrangia near the front porch is gone...



So is the deodar cedar that was choking out the pink dogwood, and our view....


Then, it started about 10:30 last night...and it hasn't stopped.

My minis aren't upset, but I think even they have had enough. Their little hooves are packed with snow, and they leave clumps in their barns...but will they stay in their barns??? No way.The snow lays on them like a blanket, which means they are even noticing the cold.Skye is back on antibiotics because the wound still hasn't healed completely. I had to go out and give her medecine tonight, and it's cold...I'm not in love with Virginia anymore..
So, who'll stop the snow?

Hi Claudia I hope your little horses nose gets better soon. We sometimes use Manuka honey over here to heal wounds, it has a antibacterial quality to it. Most is made in New Zealand.

Kas, I never heard of it before!
I don't think I could get it here anyway..
I have gone back to using a triple antibiotic cream on it...
I hope she is better too..

Didn't you say something about spring and show pictures of your daffodils popping up a few posts back?

Seriously, Kurt is talking about Florida. He wants to know why you guys moved here.

Bullet did something to his face too. Big gash below the eye. Think I'm going to put some antibiotic ointment on it but thanking God it didn't happen during fly season.
