April to April comparison

I let Baasha out on the big field today, and took a few pictures of him enjoying the grass. Then I went into my April 2009 photo album, to compare his body condition. It makes me feel good to see the difference, but then I was shocked to realize how far behind our grass and trees are this year.

It's scary to me but my man says we'll catch up.

Is it because you had more snow and a longer winter this year? I know my pasture isn't anywhere near ready for the horses. It's finally starting to turn green just this week.

Baasha looks so much better--not only fatter. Calmer. Happier!

The grass...argh. Ours is doing the same thing. Really not growing much yet. WTH? Even the part that's been fenced away from the horses isn't growing much. Not sure why, but the neighbor thinks that the winter weather vacillating between freezing and warmish/sunny-ish has delayed the grass.

Everything is delayed--I finally have leaves on the grapevines today. Late!

He looks great - and he doesn't care at all how things look!

What a difference and what a fat and happy boy.

Baasha looks so much better now than last year. Don't worry, the grass will grow soon enough.

Baasha is looking mighty happy out there! We're struggling here, too, with spring pasture. Recent rains have created a great deal of sloshing at the neighbor's place where my boys go for grazing. Hoping for some spring sunshine soon!

Wow! What a huge difference! Baasha has also gotten whiter, too. And he has really filled out. He looks in great shape...and very content!

Can we have some of your green grass, though? Ours got snowed on yesterday and looks a little peaked.
