Daily Thoughts - 18 Feb 18 - Homesteading Today...
Good morning my fellow Steemians! :D
We woke up to…you guessed it, more snow, ugh. LOL. :D I’m so ready for winter to be over, of course we’ve got at least another month before Mother Nature will even think about letting Spring be sprung. At least Karma (foreground) and Lady (background) are enjoying the snow while its here. Soon (hopefully) it’ll be too warm for Karma and we’ll have to get her a hair cut for the summer. :D
The girls didn’t want to go back into the barn this morning or they’d go in only to turn around and come right back out again, silly girls. :D
I got to pet all three piglets today, YAY! :D I tried to feed each of them their own egg, but the piglets made them too slippery to hold on to and I had to put them in their food dish to fight over, poor Pinky got egg on his right ear in the skirmish. LOL. :D
Our handsome boy Joker loves a good rub behind his ears, especially if he can eat while its being done, and a nice cuddle. I think, he thinks, he’s a puppy. :D LOL. :D
Our other handsome boy Buddy enjoying his oats and cold beverage with his breakfast hay. :D
The piglets Lil’ Miss, Pinky, and Junior weren’t sure how they felt about us putting apples in their feed dish and they got knocked out of the dish a couple of times before Lil’ Miss bit into one and she figured out they were delicious, then the battle for the apples began. :D
Princess (right) let me hug her today and so did Belle (left), usually Belle lets me rub/pet her, but this was the first time she let me give her a hug and she tucked her head behind my shoulder to pull me closer, so she could hug me back. It was totally awesome! :D If you’ve never hugged, or been hugged by, a cow I highly recommend it. :D LOL. :D
Candy (foreground) was the hardest one to get back in the barn this morning but once we removed the hay from the feeder outside and put it inside the barn she was much more cooperative. :D Princess (background) was happily eating her hay and Candy’s hay while Candy was dilly dallying around outside. :D
Chores are done and we’re back inside relaxing. I think I’m going to play a bit of the Blizzard Game World of Warcraft (WoW) today, unless its mad and boots me out. If that happens than I’ll play a bit of the Blizzard Game Hearthstone instead. :D I got in to WoW today, YAY! :D Here I am flying to my next quest spot. :D
Here I am about to land at the Meredil flight point in Suramar. :D
Our handsome puppy daddy Dakota, watching the door wearily. Poor guys worried I’m going to let his kids out to bug him during his “me” time this afternoon. :D LOL. :D
Its time to go bring the herd and the piglets their supper, hopefully I can get some nice sunset photos while I’m out there. :D
Our handsome boy Joker didn’t want to get up before we brought his hay over and my husband told me to grab a picture of him before he got up, so I did, he’s such a cutie. :D LOL. :D
Princess (foreground) decided that she wanted to be in the picture, so I had to take another one, LOL. :D

I love how Joker is just chilling. He's like: So... you got any more of that umm hay?
Welcome back! :D
He is such a funny little steer, that's why I picked the name Joker for him. :D He's very mellow and playful right now and I hope he stays that way as his horns grow, instead of becoming aggressive as some cows do. I'm looking forward to taking him, Buddy and the girls for walks through the pastures this spring/summer/fall. :D
God bless you and your family. :D Have an awesome day! :D
I think all animals like hugs and some give better hugs than others. Hugs are awesome!
Welcome back! :D
That is so true! :D I love when our grand-puppy Tiny cuddles up with me, he's so good at cuddling, but he won't do it for long unless you're rubbing his chest or behind his ears. :D Joker our steer likes to be rubbed under the chin but he hasn't wanted a hug yet. I think he's going to be great at cuddling and hugging. For some reason he just gives off that vibe. :D LOL. :D Hugs to you. :D
God bless you my fabulous friend! :D Have an awesome day! :D
I love the pictures of the sunset. Also guess what... it snowed in Washington today too!!! Stay warm :)
Thank you for visiting, reading my post, and making a comment. :D
I'm so glad you enjoyed them. :D I hope you aren't getting as much snow as we've gotten here. Do you get lots of snow in Washington? What is the average normal winter temperatures there? I'm always very happy to see the last of our snow here each spring and look forward to the warmer days too. :D Stay warm yourself. :D
God bless you. :D Have an awesome day! :D
hi dear @frostyamber , miss you 😘❤️

Looks like Belle is kissing Candy hehe

Good thing the animals are all good in winter
And i wasamazed that you are playing war craft??? oh dear you and my husband would be bestfriendsabout that haha
Stay awesome frosty , much love from me 😘❤️❤️❤️
Hello lovely lady @zephalexia, thanks for coming for a visit. :D We've got at least another month of snow here, unless Mother Nature decides to be nice and give us an early spring. :D
It does look like Belle's kissing her and sometimes they lick each other but I can't say with 100% certainty that I've ever seen them kiss each other, LOL. :D
Pinky and Lil' Miss have warmed up to me but Junior is still very skittish, by the end of summer though they'll all be eating out of my hand. :D
I love World of Warcraft, I just wish I didn't have such a hard time finding my way to quests in there, of course it doesn't help that I've got no sense of direction in real life either, LOL. :D It would be cool if your husband and I've played together in game and never knew it. :D I pair up with random people in game all the time, usually when someone is bored and wants to help out lost players like me, LOL. :D Do you play WoW too or just your husband? My husband was the one that got me to start playing WoW actually. :D Sending you tons of hugs, loads of love and positive vibes to you my fabulous friend. :D Thank you for calling me awesome! :D
God bless you and your family. :D Have an awesome day! :D
oh i wish i can play WOW too, i don't i play cooking games instead hahaha. my husband so addicted with those kind of games , haha.
Say hi to your beautiful family and the lovely animals 😊
God bless you always dear frosty 😘❤️❤️❤️
Well if you ever do decide to play WoW too let me know, if you make a toon on Garona (my Horde toons) or Dalaran (my alliance toons) servers we could do some questing together. :D Heck if you decided to go Horde and played on the Garona server I could even bring you into our guild. :D That would be pretty cool. :D
I will say hi to mine and please say hello to yours. :D
God bless you lovely lady. :D Have an awesome day! :D
the sunset photos are epic
Hello there! I'm so glad you came for a visit. :D
Thank you very much. :D I'm happy you enjoyed them. :D I love taking the sunset pictures, especially when I can get my favorite tree in them. :D
God bless you my cyber son. :D Have an awesome day! :D
Oh my my.... lil miss, junior and pinky are growing soooo fast!!!
How many weeks are they now?
sending you some sunny hugsss all the wayyy..
Be careful with the snow and hope they won't give u any trouble.
xoxo
Welcome back lovely lady! :D
Yes they are growing fast. I'd guess they are about 10 weeks old now, but can't say for sure since I don't know their birth dates.
Thank you for the sunny hugs, they are appreciated. :D Sending you hugs right back. :D
I think we're going to get a couple more big storms over the next month and then winter will be over, at least that's my hope. :D
The piglets are already trying to escape their area now and they haven't been outside in the fresh air yet, so I can just imagine how much trouble they'll get into once they're outside and can try to escape from their pen. :D Its going to be a busy and eventful summer I'm sure, I hope it gets here sooner rather than later though. :D
God bless you and your lovely family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
