- Out And About
For weeks now, Daphne and Chloe have lived on a very narrow path from their house to their water and food area.Back and forth all day...refusing to go off the path. Unlike the horses, who trudge through the snow, no matter how deep,these gals will...

I really cannot complain about the amount of snow that we have.We actually don't have a lot of inches on the ground right now. We had about 6 inches on the ground a week ago,and then we had a day of freezing rain...which compacted that snow down...

After waiting for what has seemed like an eternity,the first snow of Winter arrived this weekend. Now, you may remember that we had a 6 inch snowfallon the weekend after Halloween.(Yes, that was the weekend we drove to W.V. to pick up our piglets,and...

Ok, enough is enough! We have had a total of 3 foot of snow so far this month.... and we are not even half way through February. Although it is beautiful to look at, it does make farm life a bit more challenging. Yesterday was a crazy day! I went out...

Digging Out
Yesterday brought us another 9 inches of snow.
There was much digging out to be done by mid afternoon.
A neighbor plowed our long driveway...
and we did a little clean-up work with the 4 wheeler.
The chickens, turkeys, goats, pigs and donkeys all had to have paths cleared through the snow.
The donkeys flatly refused to leave their house until a path was shoveled.
These two are just a little bit spoiled.
But, who could resist?
After all, they are so darned cute...
and always ready to have receive a smooch on the nose.
(which they get lots of... regularly!)
As I said before, the horses don't seem to care about snow.
They are out trudging through it without complaint.
As for me...
well, I think my love affair with winter has ended.
"Hear that Winter? I am breaking up with you!"
"You may leave.
Now."
See my gator? It's stuck. For the 6th time...in one hour.
"Yep," says Moll, "it's stuck, Mom!"
For some reason, Moll loves the snow.
She hops and leaps into the air doing 360 degree spins!
(She's probably been watching the Olympics.)
Hubbs came to my rescue, thankfully.
