day 2 of 2009

It is beautiful here today ~ not too cold, a bit of wind but nothing serious, and the SUN! That alone was worth getting up for today.

I've been up since about 6 this morning, I couldn't sleep any longer. Sat with my coffee and just looked out the window at the snow and the light ~ Stayed that way until I went over to feed Budman, now I am just kind of chillin, trying to think what I am going to do with the day. I have things I want to do, but I have not the motivation to do any of them... a common theme these days for me. It is like I am waiting for some thing to happen...

**shrug** I dunno what I am waiting for ~ viggo maybe? Or someone like what I think he would be like?

just so you know, George Clooney runs a close second ;) (sorry George ~ I really DO love you too, but hey... I do not know if you ride horses??)

So the beginning of the year is supposed to have new beginnings in things, resolutions I believe they are called? As I am stumbling about with the "new" in my life already, I see absolutely NO reason to make resolutions. Zero, zip, nadda.

:)

The snow is blowing off the ridge across the valley ~ this huge sheet of it is now suspended above the ridge, and as the snow behind it blows up, it makes a twist ~ and the fallout is floating down onto the trees on my side of the ridge. Now there is a mini snow storm as the wind flows down the gully and into the small bowl ~ a small poofy looking cloud is forming ~ it is all made up of snow. It will hang there for a few I think, before settling back down into the depression ~it is a phenomenon that I see in that particular area this time of year. One day I may be able to get a picture of it ~ but until I can afford a new camera, I am out of luck.

That settling was pretty neat, the center of the cloud dropped out before the sides did, so there was this little doughnut shaped thing hanging on the ridge. :)

Mother nature can be such a bitch ~ but she can also provide some of the most beautiful things in the world. I do think that we are killing our world ~ there are things we can do, but much of it may be to late. Population is just to much, and with no natural enemies any more (with exception of ourselves) we will continue to overload the planet until something really drastic happens, and we've no longer any choices. (if you read The Road by Cormac McCarthy~ it is SCARY stuff!)

M'kay, off my soap box now. Personally, I am looking at getting/being somewhere that I can have my horses, raise livestock, have a huge garden to harvest and store... I could get off on that to be honest.

How to support such a project is a different thing. :p

**yawn** been doing this for half an hour, and I must get on with "things" ~ the main one now is to move the hay over to the barn before I can no longer drive UP to the barn. Not exactly sure where I will be able to place the stuff when I get there, but I do not want to haul 100 pound bales down a quarter mile road... THAT would stink.

The things I do for my animals... I swear.

Come on viggo, the coffee is gone, we can't stall any longer. Hay awaits.
