Bitter Winter Winds


Winter arrived today with a frigid blast of wind and snow showers. This is our little A-frame cottage that serves as home on the farm until construction of our log home is complete. We have replaced the windows with ones that will match the log home's and the exterior of this little cottage will be covered with Log siding to match the exterior of the farm house. This Spring I will paint the front door green to match the windows. It remains a work in progress. It is toasty warm and quite homey inside....so much so, that leaving it at 6 AM to attend to chores is a bit difficult.

Cold weather never seems to be a hardship for the animals...they weather the winter winds quite well.

Ample supplies of hay and feed help all to fight Winter's chill.


Even the ducks seem unaffected by the cold....continuing to paddle around all winter long.

- Spring Arrives......
Spring is here. The weather has warmed. And no one is happier than the ducks (except for maybe the horses, and the people, and the chickens.....) It was a tough winter for all of the farm animals. The first unfortunate occurence came early in the winter...
