So now we've got snow, that cold white stuff that you love as children, snowmen, sleighs, snow angels and s'mores. As a farmer its "OMG" ...frozen water troughs, ice in hooves, snowed up gates and COLD. Destiny is getting smart, I can see her little grey nose peeping out of her shelter, The sheep have taken refuge under the trees, the goats have the option to go out to play......they haven't taken it . Molly and Dolly are buried in the bedding in the cow barn, chewing their cud and watching the wet white stuff fall,...outside. Smart cows. Lamb Chop is hiding behind Daisy Mays bulk and Daisy May doesn't care as long as there is food ! Poor Bran, he wants to chase something so badly and no one wants to play !!! Bedragled chickens are lining the roosts, only the hardy and the foolhardy venture out in the pen. Lady and Quest have turned their butts to the wind and the blowing snowflakes and Charm just carried on munching, not much disturbs his routine. I mucked out the stalls with frozen leaden feet and found every opportunity to retreat to the wood stove keeping the kitchen toasty warm. Greg has some "good stuff " to go in our hot chocolate...it's holiday time isn't it ???? ..well, if it isn't , it soon will be ! Still snorting and snuffling and my foot still hurts but hey, things could be worse...I think !!! Well, Greg's had a tough day and is asleep and snoring on the recliner, Bran is on his blanket chasing sheep in his sleep, the eggs are washed , it's the end of another day ...and still it snows ! Good night, take care. M
