The Temperature is Rising !!!

The girls....waiting to go out...this morning !

Yipee.....we have....grass...

Pocus..is waiting...for Santa !!

What a difference a day makes.....the temperature has risen.....considerably !!

We hardly have any snow left it has melted with avengence.....there has been local flooding on roads ......and the rivers and ditches are running to full capacity.

The alpacas have been out today as we had grass....well.....brownish grass anyway.....they have been inside for about 2 weeks.....refusing to venture out in the snow.

Unfortunately with the thaw....there is mud ! Everything is now going back to green, albeit muddy green. The larger animals have all been out on the fields doing a little bit of grazing.

The alpacas ran out and up the field today.....I think they were happy not to have a snow covered field.

I have a couple of photos...to record the moment......we are getting into the festive spirit here. In fact I have a special delivery.....due to arrive some time next week !!!! can't say any more than that !! So the blog might be a bit quiet...as I might be a little bit pre-occupied....

I have had to alter my props..in my shelter...now the snow has gone...the roof has sprung back....and some of the props had fallen out.....its lifted about 4 to 5" it just goes to show.....what weight was on there......but all in all.....I'm glad that I will be able to repair it in the future..and I'm not replacing the full roof !!

So the big melt is on.....and apparently....we are forecast.....it to get colder towards the latter end of next week......and brace yourself....for a bit more of the white stuff !!
