Both words work equally well when describing Cassidy Rain and her snowy-ridge background, eh?

Fuzzy, fuzzy! I’m always amazed at how thick the mustangs’ coats get in the winter. They’re well adapted!

Disappointment Valley got snow yesterday, but the ground is so wet and warm from recent warm days (50s!) that it didn’t stick. It DID bring us some more moisture, for which we, of course, are grateful!

The mud you can’t see is sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! We’ve had temps at/near/above 50 degrees the last few days. The snow is melting steadily into the ground, which is a welcome infusion of moisture.

Do we need more snow? Yep. Is more on the way? Yep! So says the forecast, anyway, and a forecast of snow (and/or rain) is a forecast of optimism. 🙂

Ever so steadily, we’re returning to our usual brown landscape as the snow melts. Warm days are a bit of a welcome respite from temps in the single digits. The mud … the mud is sloppy!

All moisture, and we need it all.

Chunky winter mustang girl Raven is a welcome sight on a snowy, sunny day!

The tails have it: It was windy! And the wind was sharp.

Temple and Madison were watching something beyond the edge of their hill that I couldn’t see. There were a couple of following bachelors, in view, but the mares seemed to be looking farther.

In my view, the mustangs and snowy Knife Edge beyond. … Perfect. 🙂
