I went Ice Skating this morning!

I had not planned on it, but all the rain we had mixed with some snow and ta da, slick steps and walk. Not only that but the roads were coated also, I found that out when I went onto the pavement from the gravel and tried to shift gears. All in all an exciting drive to town first thing in the morning. The utility company called and told me they had some empty spools I could have. When I went in to pay my bill earlier in the week I asked if they ever had any empty ones and how do you get them. I want to make a playground for the goats and these spools will be wonderful for them to jump on. There is a house we go past now and then that has all kinds of ramps and bridges for their goats, I don't think we are going to get that wild.

The weather is all over the map, we actually had some warm weather the first part of last week. From Thursday on it has been awlful, rain, high winds, cold, snow, yuck. I was wishing that my plants were coming up, now I am glad they didn't they would have frozen. Hopefully this is the last of the really cold and Spring can make an entrance.

This is Elvira and her cat, he took up residense in our barn over the winter and when ever Elvira and I go out to walk around he joins us. He rubs all over her and she gives him kisses and they chase each other around. I keep thinking I will take him in and get him fixed, but not sure if I can claim him as mine. He disappears now and then but always comes back, so would not want someone to get upset with me for "fixing" their cat.
