Snow!

I've heard from many folks who are by now tired of the snow. But for us, it's the first real snow of the season! Really, less than 30 days from March, and we finally get snow that covers the grass.
As you can see, some of us are very good at making use of it...


Going down the front hill from the porch.


And then, some are not so easily amused. They seem to say, "What is this stuff you want us to WALK in?"



The sheep are just outside the barn door. They've been staying indoors in this very cold weather, partly because of space and pasture constrictions, and partly because they were sheared in October, and have short coats. Victoria is the ewe showing us her butt, and next to her is her brother, Blackjack, a nice moorit wether. Behind them is Secret, Victoria's lamb, and looking longingly back at the barn is Hattie's little muskit twin, Alexander.




Here's another shot, and this was after a lot of coaxing; they're just not interested in coming out in the snow!
(I can't say that I blame them...I'm curling up with seed catalogs and garden plans myself...and of course, knitting...)
