Snow & Ice

The little bit of snow that we got last Thursday didn't even cover the ground, but the ice and freezing temperatures pretty much shut things down around here for a couple of days. The road along the creek and our driveway have been very icy. Larry was able to get out with his truck in 4 wheel drive, but Allison & I didn't even attempt to drive our cars down the driveway until yesterday after Larry cleared off some of the ice with the tractor. It has been beautiful, especially when the snow was falling, but I have enjoyed watching it from inside with a fire going in the fireplace!


Allison & Jordan sliding down our driveway.

Meet Midnight (named by Shelby) born just a week ago. That's Jolene next to him --not his mother. We're expecting another calf to be born any time, and Jolene should have hers next month.

The animals have been hungrier than usual because of the cold, and they let Larry know it. They all come running when they hear him coming, and the ducks follow him around like puppies.

Lots of ice on the ponds. Notice the duck walking on the pond!

We enjoyed the pictures. Just wish it would have done that while we were there. Could have had an extended stay!!
