- It's Beginning To Look A Lot....oh Never Mind, It Melted!
The goat yard is usually a hub of activity. Yesterday, as the temperature rose and the snow melted,it was even more so! All of the hens were out in search of worms. Annie was intrigued by all of the hustle-bustle. I was searching the goat houses for...
- The Magic Of Snow
Sunday morning we awoke to a fresh blanket of snow.I am still in that part of the wintertime where snow excites me.In December and January, I view the snow through romantic eyes...through magical memories of childhood days. First snows. White Christmases....
- Ice!
A frozen crust on top of Sunday's snow made morning choresa bit treacherous yesterday. Although I love the look of our farm in the snow, the ice makes animal chores a little more complicated.Even the chickens skate across the top of the ice. Accomplishing...
- Blizzard!
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...

Being from Africa, Guineas are not so fond of snow and ice, and so they spend most of these days seeking shelter on the Dutch doors to the horse stalls. This was the view from the top of Bee Haven Lane yesterday after the snow ended. Off to the far right...

In The Lane....Snow Is Glistening....
Oh my, what a difference a day makes.
Going out for morning chores yesterday, I was met with this....
And the snow just kept on falling.
Don't you just love the "blue" hour right before sunrise?
Oh, how this puts me into the Christmas spirit!!
It's beautiful, cold, silent.
Oh, how good to have a place that's dry...
The garden slumbers beneath its soft white blanket.
Fresh snow makes everything picturesque!
Especially Sammie!!
Sam and Annie love playing in the snow.
Chase, tumble, roll.
A right hook to the jaw...
and then Oakley breaks things up.
You'd think the snow would cover up all scents...
but, Sam goes excavating for them.
As does Annie...
Even Ginger's outside...
plowing snow with her snout!
If you ask them, the piggy girls will tell you...
they don't like snow all that much!
But for some reason, today, Ginger chooses to be out in it.
MaryAnn, on the other hand, is fast asleep beneath her heat lamp.
Smart girl!
All the goats, except O'Malley, are inside their houses.
Malley hates to miss a meal.
Back inside, with Christmas music playing
and a fire in the fireplace,
I am warm and cozy....
as the snow continues to fall.
Just a reminder...
tomorrow I will post this past week's trail camera surprises.
Stop back to see our wild world.
And before I leave you for now, I wanted to share another silly home video.
Yikes. No, really....yikes.
Disclaimer: I get incredibly nervous in front of a camera and become very shifty eyed...
please forgive.
I wanted to share my latest knitting project (passion) with you and a photo would not have
captured this item....unless I was wearing it...and me and "selfies" just don't work out so well.

I love make-believe and whimsy...so items like this make me happy!
The hood pattern is called "Dragonwatcher's Hood" by Tiny Owl Knits
and is found in a book entitled Woodland Knits by Stephanie Dosen.
