Happy St. Patty's Day to all of you.None of us have a lick of Irish in us, but that doesn't stop us from joining in on the fun.We find any excuse for dressing up. Sometimes I think it is the highlight of Daphne and Chloe's day...they never...
- 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....

Here are a few more pictures of our weekend snowfall. We were lucky enough to have Amanda and Tim snowed in with us. We spent Saturday making lasagne, baking, watching "White Christmas" and working on a puzzle. Sunday we all took the girls for a walk...
- Quiet Winter Scenes
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...

St. Pat, The Sicilian Patron Saint of Long Ears
It wouldn't be a holiday without a party!
So, naturally we had a little St. Patty's celebration yesterday.
The girls never mind dressing up for a party.
Chloe: "Where's the green beer?"
Daphne: "I could have sworn you said we were from Sicily!...
Our ancestors are rolling over in their graves!"
And yes, I took those pictures yesterday....
after watching the snow fly all day Saturday.
There was only one of us happy to see more snow...
Sadie, our Bernese Mountain dog.
She's always happiest with a pile of snow to lie in....
and what better entertainment than the guineas!
With any luck, by the time you read this we will be well on our way
towards melting.
Once this snow is gone, I will start the process of waking up our garden
and preparing the boxes for early spring crops.
Mmmmmmm, I can almost taste those crisp snap peas, spinach, broccoli, kale and chard.
We PA farmers would call this the "onion" snow...last snow of the year and time
to get your onion sets into the ground!
