Look how pretty we are!

It snowed on Thursday - oh boy did it snow! It snowed all day, by about 3pm we thought we should venture out to clear some path so we could get out - should we want. But, the snow that had fallen earlier in the morning had been more like freezing rain - then had turned to snow, so the snow we were trying to move was extremely heavy! Suffice it to say, after 2 hours of work with me & my snow blower & Phil on his plow, we had some clearing done. We were both exhausted because of the weight of the snow & the machinery working so hard to move it making it a very physical experience!





But now, the snow lies thick and white, glistening. The trees are laden with snow. It is truly beautiful out there. Cold, but oh, so lovely. The chickens would prefer to stay indoors as they don't have insulation to their feet, but they even venture out onto their little door steps. The sun was shining today, it can't help but make anyone feel good.
