A Walk in the Woods and Hannah's Day

Eli and Licorice, the coolest Pygmy goat.  I think I we need one.

 

The snow started melting as fast as it fell.  I grabbed my camera and headed to the woods trying to catch a glimps of the beautiful snow before it all melted and turned to slush.  Happy little followers came along....a silly dog and the curious cats.  Abbie loves the snow.  This little Wheaton hops, rolls and throws her nose right into the cold fun. 

 

On the way to my quiet walk in the woods, I stopped and visited with some of the animals.  The pig...AKA....Little Tea, is almost ready for market.  She's scheduled for the end of the month.  The sheep have settled in and are doing well.  Hannah likes to sit in their pen and watch them.  They smell so good, except when going to guitar lessons with the boys, in a small room, and shoes smell like sheep.  Oh well, I guess it's better than pig. 

 

My walk this morning was peaceful.  All around,the sound of melting snow fell from branches.  Birds are returning.  Every morning, music of returning birds grows louder. New sounds each day.  Beautiful noise to remind me that spring is near. 

 

Today was also a special day for Hannah.  She finally started riding lessons.  I am pleased with the instructor and I think she and Hannah will work well together.  Hannah is a natural animal whisperer. There is something about her that connects to them.  She naturally works well with animals of all sorts, whether it be a bug or horse.  Today, she got to enjoy her favorite animal of all.  She did very well, and eagerly awaits her next lesson.
