Spring Fever!!

Well, it didn't really seem like we got much of a thaw in January but maybe in February?  The last couple of days have been beautiful!  It's been 20 to 30 degrees with very little wind.  Anytime there is no wind in Iowa, it's a great day for sure winter or summer.  All the animals seem to be showing their spring fever already.  The horses were out "jack-assing" around as Mike calls it.  And the dogs have been pretty wound up.  Everyone wants to be outside when it's like this.  It's a lot better than the -30 degrees with wind chill....  Then you can't push anyone outside.  But when it's nice, it's a different story.  Here's Rasmus yesterday while he was out enjoying the warm weather.  Mike was moving hay and the rest of us were out gallivanting around in the back yard.

Molly was enjoying the weather too but she doesn't like to get too far from the barn.  She's probably the more outgoing of the two mastiffs but she likes to be in the barn where the cats are....  always got to keep an eye on the cats.  They are tricky little devils and you can't let them get the upper hand...  :-)

Then we follow up the fun warm play day outside with a nice warm dinner of scrambled eggs and disgusting smelly canned dog food.  What could be better!  Life is wonderful.....

Of course everyone at our house doesn't enjoy the great outdoors.  Some of us are hopeless couch potatoes who just lie around being useless all day long probably watching Netflix.  But I guess someone has to do it.

Enjoy the warm couple of days.  It sounds like next week we are back to sub zero temps again.  All I have to say is that stupid ground hog better be right this year!  Only 4 more weeks of winter!  Later!
