First Snow
We got our first snow, a dusting, yesterday and last night. It's melting about as quickly as it accumulates, but it's still peaceful and beautiful. I LOVE a new snow. It makes the world so clean and fresh. A new snow is full of promise.
This is our third winter here (can that be possible?!) and I still catch myself just gazing out the window whenever it snows. I wonder will my southern self ever consider snow as commonplace as rain.
A pair of gloves lies on a table on the porch, reminiscent of a sunny work day when a distraction called us away from a task.
The snows were preceded by LOTS of rains and some heavy winds. Our creek finally has water in it again, after seven months of being dry. This is a Very Big Deal because our water supply is a shallow (25 ft) hand dug well. The creek level is indicative of how well our household water supply is doing.
We're snug indoors with a fire in the wood stove and lots of coffee in the coffee pot. It's a good day.

All we have is old snow. Tired old snow, covered in chicken tracks and with scatterings of poop. In places it is mysteriously yellow ... and as everyone knows ... you don't eat the yellow snow.
We're expecting more snow this afternoon and I've got to go secure the chicken coop. My tarps that I put up there keep blowing off. I really should have named our farm, "Half-Ass Acres".
That yellow snow... we get it too, mostly in the rabbit pen. LOTS of yellow snow there.
Our chicken coop is an absolute mess. My husband cleared an area for a new one but the garden kept us so busy we didn't get any of it built while the weather was nice.
It's not so much "Half-Ass" as it is "Too Much On My Plate". At least, that's what I tell myself.
hi - how about the barn? couldnt they stay in there? not sure if you have other animals in the barn.
