Dreaming of Better Days

The spring weather of Northern Nevada, and a lot of other areas too, definitely tests ones patience. Its not like you can do anything to change it either so there really isn't any point in getting yourself upset. Think of it as an opportunity to practice spontaneity; to work on unfinished projects around the house or the ones that never end and that you've been putting off or making a list of the things that we are going to do when the weather cooperates.
In the mean time, while we are 'changing our plans for the day' its always nice to 'day dream'....

nice, sunny, warm days......

perfect for laying out and catching some rays.........

Dream of these things.......

And then reality hits.....like a 2x4 along side the head, like a wet towel snapped on your backside, like the sound of one of the cats wretching up a........never mind.........

Point being.....its spring and it has its extremes.

It was in the 60's the day before.

Cold, wet reality...........

"Riata, I don't think that the shelter is going to do you much good now."

Needless to say, the animals get a little 'bogged' down from the weather too-even depressed, there have been days that they really don't want to eat much. That was not the case with this last storm as they were all quite chilled since they have shed out the majority of their winter coats so in order to stay warm, they got lots of extra hay which they were very grateful for.

Ziva was hoping that the camera was edible too.

So in light of the current storm system that is blowing in, remember 'this too shall pass'.
