out and about this morning

Chores to do this morning, not in the house though, all over the valley.  Children to take to school at sunrise; groceries to buy and then hay, hay and more hay - enough to see us through till the spring brings green grass for the  horses.  Thank goodness I'm not allergic!   

It all made for a lot of driving, made easier by taking my camera along for the ride.  When I came home and  looked at my photos I realised that I had watched the valley thaw out from the night frost!  

 Hope your week is getting off to a good start.
