Maia and Shane look winter-lovely as they make their way to a pond with their family.
It’s so good to have ponds – mostly iced over and thawing during the day at the edges where the horses drink – this winter, as it means we’ll have water in at least the spring. But that brown ground, almost as far as the eye can see (we get no benefit from La Sal Mountain runoff), does not bode well.
A small chance of afternoon snow tomorrow has entered our forecast, and we’re crossing fingers, toes and paws!

Thanks for this! Let’s have snow! Lots of it to fill the ponds and make the grasses green,
Goodness knows we need it – for all of that!
Hopping for a lot of moisture!
Our next chance seems to be the beginning of February now. …
Thank goodness for those ponds !
Because of last summer’s monsoons, we’re in better shape with the ponds than we were last year, that’s for sure.
We have a small chance, too. Most of the ponds out at the Refuge have diminished in size. Yesterday the ravens were gleaning what was once under water. This is a harsh winter for animals and farmers.
Too true. 😦 It’s only getting worse.
Pretty mares in a pretty place. Wish the snow would cover all the landscapes instead of just the tips of mountains.
Oh, I wish that, too! Winter is still on the calendar … hopefully we have some snow to come … !
Crossing fingers & saying prayers🙏
