Happy Holidays

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We didn't have anyone staying here this year but still had a great family get together.

 Yoda has been sitting by the fire to keep warm.

Heather was trying to sneak up on me.

 Bryan and Cathryn were there. The girls like Bryan.

It turned cold again this week. We got a little snow but mostly wind and cold.

Poppy still likes to stay near the fire. Cassie has more hair than Poppy now so she's okay with the cold.

It looks wintry. 

The ewes like it when it gets cold. They have the front pasture and the pond pasture now. Ellie is over in the top pasture. 

The calves are getting beefy. They're staying in the ram pasture until the big cattle go to their final destination.

Jeff doesn't like the beefy visitors.

We had to bring the hose up to thaw it out. It sat in the bathtub overnight.

The latest foster dogs. Missy is the little one and the other one is Shadow. They're retired brood bitches from a puppy farm.

First Snow

It snowed yesterday afternoon and most of the night. It was pretty out this morning. 
The day before it was all ice. I was in Lexington yesterday so I got to drive home in it. 

There were big wet flakes then it turned to the smaller ones when it got cold.

Dennis is in the front yard with Joanie while the ram is in with the ewes.

It really wasn't much accumulation because the ground was still warm. Everything is wet now.

Cassie had never seen snow. Poppy was showing her how to play in it. She loved it.



Cassie found a sun beam.

Poppy curled up with her favorite blanket.

Even Yoda was getting warm by the fire.
