BLIZZARD

Tweet

 I'm just having fun taking pictures of this stinking blizzard

It might qualify as one of those 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade' moments.

You can see the cows in the distance, if you look HARD!

The cowyard is across the road west from my back door.

We also have cows south of the house by the barn.

My cowboy moves the ones that are closest to giving birth to the barn, then he moves the cows and their calves--once they're doing well and he's sure they're strong and healthy--across the road,

where they hang out with other soon-to-be-but-not-RIGHT-now mamas. 

Closer look at a snow covered cow. They don't seem to mind the cold. 

 

A shrub on the south side of my house, I thought you could see the snow getting deeper. Also I was too cold to look farther from the house for stuff to take pictures of!

And a Valentine’s History Lesson you’ll never forget

(no matter how hard you try)

 

The title of my lesson is:

WHAT? WAS FLESH COLORED PAINT ON SALE?

This is Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love and her son, Cupid, the Roman God of Love (Same last name? Who was the father? Already a scandal?)

I did a lot of reading about Cupid…

(translated to English…”that’s four hours of my life I’m never gettin’ back.)
