Second Snow

We got another snow on the 16th which really made up for the first we got this fall.  Because the cold hit so fast, the trees' leaves are still attached in spots so it made taking picture fun for me.

 

 

 

 

Here, I risked my camera and took pictures while it snowed.

 On the 17th, I needed to get out of the house because I wasn't happy...so Dad took me to move some heifers and cattle on foot.

The sun was shining and the air was still, making it a beautiful day for walking. 

 

 
When Dad and I reached the cows, the tame ones who eat out of our hands, came up begging for a snack.  I only let them lick me, but had nothing to feed them.  But since they were close, I got some pictures.

 

 

 
The walk was short, but refreshing and needed.  The cattle we have are very gentle, thus moved without trouble.

 
When the cattle had all gone into the pasture, I took time to build a snowman.  Isn't it cute?  Yeah, well, it was only 7 inches tall...

 
Dad broke ice in the tanks and then we headed in for dinner. 

You know, sometimes when you're feeling down (or plain upset) the best thing, for me anyway, is to go outside and do something.  Sometimes I just walk around thinking, or hold a cat while sitting in the sun, and other times Dad takes me out to check cattle, like in this case.  I'm glad he makes me go, because a few times it isn't what I want to do, but I always come back happy and smiling and have stories to share.  : )
