In the winter I feed our other livestock, the wild birds. Zephyr seems to be saying "Do you see what I see" all that bird seed just out of reach.
We get Black Eyed Juncos, click on the pictures for a close up view. After this huge snow fall the temperatures for a week ranged from low 20'sF in the day to 17 below 0 at night. These are the times when living on a mountain is a benefit. Heat rises so our lowest temperature was 2 degrees above 0. Fifteen degrees is a big difference.
and Western Quail. The bird book calls them California Quail but they make their home here in Nevada also. I feel bad for these little guys trying to find feed in the snow and cold.
Ewe's lambs from the spring of '09 checking out the snow and wishing everyone a "Happy Ewe Year"!

Since then it melted and now it's snowing again. Even the dogs don't want to go out there!
Very arty Mimi. The sheep seem to be doing well with it all and the visuals, while I'm sure not always nice in real-time, are very pretty. Take a deep breath and just live it.
