Eira!

Today is one of those days where my inability to edit images makes itself prevalent again...

Have you ever seen sheep covered in snow?

It's convenient that they're black, rather than the usual white, as it makes them easier to find! I have given them some food this morning, and will feed them again later, but they are making holes in the snow and finding food there as well. They should be fairly hardy -- they are the descendants of the ram who survived the blizzard of '47!

Shiva, on the other hand, wasn't too keen about getting covered in snow... :)



This is the view up the lane. I was outside for about an hour this morning, checking the animals and just generally enjoying the snow, and ordinarily, at that time, there would have been at least half a dozen vehicles driving past -- today, not a single one. I was talking to the post woman yesterday morning when she came and she said not to expect her today...




Good thing we weren't planning on working on the shed today!

This is the garlic in the raised bed.


You can see here how deep the snow is! The poor chickens don't want to come out and play -- this is the only hen who ventured out this morning...



This is the view from the top of the field, looking down the valley.

Poor little daffodils! They just don't know what's going on...



Something was outside earlier than me this morning...
