Spring Melt

Spring is finally here and the melt has begun...these photos were taken on April 9th, just prior to a blizzard that night that dumped another 1 1/2 to 2 feet of wet heavy snow...Typical weather for foals and calving!!


Dugout filled and overflowing!


Our own little 'babbling brook'

Right through chicken/turkey pens....


Nearly flooded the turkey coop...


Much deeper than it looks.....
actually almost to top of our boots,


and the current is so strong,
it nearly knocks you off your feet!


All corrals flooded...


Sheds and pens all under water...
so we are moving stock out to higher ground


Slough around yard site is up to the barn!
(And still rising)


Kira's Willow Tree in water.


Everywhere we look....nothing but water!
....and the melt has just begun!


On our way back from checking the herd,
Jasmine found a good use for all the snow...
Better watch out DAD!(taking picture)

Well I guess that's one way to get your pens cleaned.... Hope it all fades away soon for you.
