Coyote, Snow and Poo Fire

Our second snow of the season turned out to be historic. It snowed all day Monday, we got about 12 inches.

 Before the storm there was a coyote. It looked like it was heading over to the chicken coop. By the time I got out there with the .22-250 it was gone.

 The snow started early this morning.

 The cattle saw me out in the garage and came up for feed.

 I cleared the snow out of the feed bunks while Lisa filled the bucket.

 I went down to shovel out the gate and pull the ice out of the sheep water.

 Everyone has plenty of hay since they can't get to the grass.

 Lisa has been dumping the bunny poop in the garden so we can till it in in the spring. She put the corral panels around it to keep the dogs out. It seemed like a logical place to dump the ash can. I dumped it in there Sunday afternoon. AS it turns out, bunny poo is combustible.

 It was smoldering last night but I was sure the snow would put it out. Lisa went out Sunday night and dumped water on it anyway. Monday morning it was still burning so I shoveled a bunch of snow on it and packed it down.

 It was still burning late this afternoon. It melted a little snow cavern and continued to smolder. I packed more snow on it. It got dark so I don't know if it came back yet.

 It was a cold light snow so it blew around everywhere. It got all over the un-chopped wood pile.

 The snow didn't slow Tinks down.

 Paris got stuck in the drift.
