Ice

It seems like the ice that has formed as the snow melted is never going to go away around here.<br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/horses/ice01062006'><img width='188' height='250' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/horses/ice01062006.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />nYou can see the sun reflecting off the ice sheet by the barn here and there are ice sheets like this all over. Most places there is enough bare ground or snow showing that the cattle are okay. They just avoid the worst ice patches like this. Ice can be really hard on pregnant cows and I've seen more than one lose their calf from falling on the ice. So, yes, I've seen worse ice but I am sure tired of it. <br />n<br />nIt isn't as easy for me and this one here has claimed me more than once now. I'm sure the rain I am hearing hit the house at the moment isn't helping the situation but I guess that is the way it goes.<br />n<br />n<b>Beauty, like ice, our footing does betray; Who can tread sure on the smooth, slippery way: Pleased with the surface, we glide swiftly on, And see the dangers that we cannot shun. John Dryden</b>
