Three weeks ago we woke up to the most beautiful snow we've seen in a long time. The snow was wet and heavy and stuck to everything. The children were so excited to FINALLY have some snow to play in and each built their own snowman. Our chickens however, were not so excited about the snow. In fact, our hens had never seen snow before! They were very slow to come out of the hen house that morning and one hen was caught catching a ride on one of our pig's back so that she could avoid walking in it. I hope you enjoy the pictures from our snowy Sunday! By mid-afternoon it had all melted and was one big muddy mess out there.
The chickens are unsure about leaving the hen house!
Lucy, our gilt, enjoyed rooting around in the snow as you can clearly see by her snout!
The sheep hanging out around the pond with the growing beds in the distance.
Peach blossoms covered in snow. Will we have fruit this year? Too early to tell, but we pray that we will!
Tomato cages waiting their turn in the field.
Our old Fergie resting until she is needed again in the field.
On this rainy Sunday we are taking the time to rest a bit, clean house, watch some movies, start wheat grass, and family game night to wrap up our day. We hope you had a relaxing day as well and we are so grateful for the rains that have fallen and more that is yet to come. The crops in the field are delighted and our wheat will surely hit a growth spurt now with all this moisture.
Until next time,
