So, it is a stay in the house day. I still have to go
outside for the essentials, like feeding the animals, but I do not want to
spend time out there today. It is windy, the clouds are heavy and wet with some
mist falling around us. (Has turned to rain since I started writing.)
The paw prints are about 2 inches deep. Notice the green
grass peeking out under the ice.
The ground has unthawed about 1-2" down making mud that
is extra sticky and slippery at the same time. I found myself walking on the
ice instead. The driveway is a mess. I toss straw on the snow/ice or ashes to give it some traction, but it wasn't much help today.
It was much easier to walk on the ice as I had my
"clippies" on my boots. I actually hate them so only wear them when
it is super slippery.
The pic below is the drive up to our gate. It has a ditch in
the middle of it about a foot wide and even deeper than that in places. 
My car
cannot survive crossing this ditch no less a fall into it, so I am staying home
today. Good thing yesterday was dentist day. I almost did not make it back up
here yesterday on the dirt road coming up the canyon. Ice, slush and snow were
mixed together and pulling the car all over.
On a good note, the wild horses were back waiting for some
food. I got to touch two of them on the nose as I fed them. That's about 6 feet
closer than ever before.My car
