Spring storm blows in

I was awake at 7:30 and the day was dreary looking. Around 8 light flakes of snow started to fall. Seeing the horses were in for water I put on my housecoat, jumped in the car, opened the yard gate and drove down to lock them in. Back at the house I pulled the hose back and closed the garden shed door.  Wouldn't you know it the snow stopped soon after with literally no wet areas to be seen ;(

if you look hard you see the snow flakes

At least the horses put away made it easy for the lady who bought the ornate frame long ago to finally pick it up before 10:30. This was a fast get dressed with the call as I forgot she was coming.

Now to get the IKEA stools built and the rest of the stuff ready for tomorrow. I hauled out all my milk painted items to use for demo too. By noon the sun was peeking out, so much for a storm or any moisture, how disappointing. I would even have taken snow at this point.

I dug up some dud dahlias and planted new ones and got them watered. I brought in my lavender and spider plant I had out as forecast says -9 as low tomorrow.. WHAT! I scrubbed up the dark chair to paint this week.

B and Cooper arrived around 2 with her free birthday Booster Juice too. Seems she brought along some laundry to keep her busy while she watches Netflix all day. She did run out quick when horses came to shelter and gave two supplements. This did mean the kennel and clean bedding was back set up! Well I had one night of space ;)

and opened her birthday present ;)

I got the rest of the paint class set up to go then inside to work on blogs. After 3:30 the snow started again and soon the heavy winds rolled in blowing from the north. Spring blizzard just as forecast. B did run out and toss a bale when it was just starting so they did eat before the worst hit. The dogs came in too, both limping and wet. Perfect weather to go down and rearrange my "store" wares.

I made chicken for supper and a pot of coffee to stay warm as the winds howled. B continued her days laundry and watched Netflix now in her room. The horses were struggling with the stormy weather. Well Pepper and Daisy not so much as they are top dogs. The rest clamored for primo spots where they could. As the winds picked up even more, B barred the storm and went to move Switch and Bird to the other paddock for their own shelter at 8. And she hauled a bale out to them all in the two shelters, well done B.

now you can see snowflakes easier :)

Back inside out of the horrendous wind and back to her cozy room. I soaked in the tub and then bed finishing the season of Sabrina then 3 episodes of Riverdale. Maybe it was the late coffee or the raging storm but I did not shut it down till after one. The temperature was only -2 but still just howling with all windows iced over. Seems we will have some moisture after all.
