April Fools?

So much for planting peas this weekend. We have a foot of wet spring snow and it is still coming down hard. I am not laughing. Neither are our sheep, who were just shorn last weekend. I have closed them in the barn with the goats, but the poor things are still shivering.

I had been focused on getting the shearing done before the ewes were too close to lambing, and the weather seemed to be finally turning seasonable.
