Snow and Other Things

 The cows wanted a romp through the snow (Part I - April Storm)
 We're really not into "earth day" (whatever that means) but we are into celebrating for a $2 sundae...
 We have the fun Culver's, and these photos are just reminders to take advantage haha! We can definitely spare a few books out of our barrage of them.
 Eowyn hopes to pass her driving test in May so she has a new pair of wheels, actually it's 2 pairs of wheels.  Naturally everyone had to check it out. Galadriel wanted to find the spare tire... ???

 Decided to do my grocery shopping early before the storm - Part II - April storm - April 18th. We go out just as it started doing this.
 I'm not sure if sledding down this embankment is really allowed, but it was being done and if the kids are quiet.... and outside....

 I got a big kick watching this chicken trying to romp through the snow. He had a really funny walk but soon as I tried to video tape it stopped and would not budge. Really!
 They thought this was a really good idea. I said, "Do you think this is a good idea? You could hit these concrete blocks."  In reply Bilbo said, "Oh we already did that." I was glad to know they were hitting the concrete safely at least... just didn't want the concrete damaged before we got to use it. *chuckle*
 I really like snow... and it's a good thing. And for the record, we do not live in the Arctic.
 April Angels
 Oh... yum... but it IS fresh.
 Walking in a Winter Wonderland (go ahead, start singing, I did)
 And Merry decided it was a lovely day for a bike ride.
We ended up with 9 inches of snow. NINE on April 18th.

 Aragorn had to drive quite the distance in this lovely weather.
 Snow! Glorious snow! (to the tune of "Food, glorious food" from Oliver Twist)
The lambs are 2 years weeks old today so they get to start on hay and water in addition to their bottles.  I decided to move them to the porch. That way they can just wear the belly bands around their middles and skip the double diaperinger since it is easy to clean up after them. They are eating every 6 hours (4 times a day) 10, 4, 10, 4 (or whenever I get up). Teddy bits (nips) and Vinny is trying to be cool and nip, too.  Any tips on nipping lambs?  It's really annoying!!!
