Unusual circumstances continue, so I enjoyed the above skyscape as I headed down to water and feed all the stock before work yesterday morning (Rick cleaned stalls later).

A little later I turned the girls out on pasture for the day. Vienna (L) and Sarai (R), the two ewes I put with Blake last fall, both look appropriately blimpy. They aren't due for another five weeks at the earliest (unless Vienna took advantage of the male companionship she had during her extended transport to Oregon), so they will only get bigger.
Yikes! For comparison, here is Marta, who didn't get bred but has much longer fleece than Vienna and Sarai:
My two potted rose bushes are starting to put out leaves:

Spring is on its way! That's good news..although we've woken up to a smattering of snow this morning. Can't wait til March when we're back to France! Lovely pics. X
I saw laburnum buds yesterday! I do hope everything isn't in for a nasty surprise later on!
I will enjoy the early arrival of spring through your pictures. Love the photos of the "girls."
