Hap Nap

Hap Nap
Although it is still very cold out, Hap seems to find it comfortable enough to take a nap in his stall which opens south. (This photo was taken with the zoom, and the autofocus seems to have found the fence instead of Hap.)

The Calm Before the Storm

“They” are predicting significant snowfall today, and a high tomorrow of 1F. I am hoping that “they” are wrong. Since we are tucked up against the Palmer Divide, which is a snowfall magnet during big storms, we usually get close to the maximum amounts forecast for the area. I will never forget talking to Jack (who was in Texas at the time of the October 97 blizzard) about my worries of getting lost on my way to the horse field. He suggested I follow the extension cord that then led from the house to the stock tank. I looked out at four feet of snow, with near whiteout conditions, and thought “The man has no idea.” Fortunately, we now have fencing that contains the complete path between the house and the barn, so getting misdirected during a whiteout is no longer a risk.
