Already the daylight is lengthening appreciably, and with temperatures of +3C today, after all our -25C with -40C wind chill, the extra hours of sunlight are welcome!
Introduced our Antarctic friends to Crescent my mare who's sporting a blue blanket these days, and Trooper, Eric's gelding who's such a sturdy "woolly bear" he doesn't need any extra warmth even on our -40C days.
Then strapped on the snowshoes, clambered up the escarpment edge to the telecommunications tower on our rocky outcrop of the Eardley Escarpment. What a spectacular view on this blue-sky day.
Tonight? More snow predicted. Good! Bring it ON! Not a good winter for deer as the snow's so deep and temperatures so bitter. Better winter for the predators.
Nature's not kind: it's a dangerous world out there for predator and prey alike.
