We had another snow last night. The winds howled and the snow was coming down sideways...burrrrr...on this windy ridge. I had trouble sleeping, was up and down to check on the temp and the snow. 13 degrees with the winds blowing at 5 am. It is a light snow but drifting.
I dreaded getting up and putting on the layers of clothes to feed but somebody has to do it! I took a few pictures while I was out there just so that you can help me experience the cold with the love of my animals.

| Sadie is happy to see me! She is always standing on her hind legs at the fence waiting on me to come and play with her. She gives me big hugs. |
 |
| Queenie comes running when she sees or hears me! My little ball of wool. Her wool is dragging in the snow. She comes running when I come out to play with her. She is so short the others are using her as a table. Oh, well her wool will be hard to clean but Queenie is Queenie. |

| Steinie and Sadie playing in the snow...they love to play together. |

| I love the sweet faces and the large heavy fleeces! |

| Liam, waiting on me to get the hay bunks filled. |

| Who is picking my pockets and pulling on my coat? |
 |
| Snow difts at every door and gate and at the water. |

| This is the back side of the house and sheds. Danny and I walked out into the west pasture to check on the cows and how much hay they had left. They have enough for the next couple of days. When we know it is going to snow, we feed extra in the trees and out of the wind and close to the cattle waterers. Back to the house to have homemade pancakes with warm maple syrup and a pot of hot coffee. This is Sunday and today we will watch Dr. David Jerimiah and read our Bible. We will pray for our family, friends, neighbors and this world. This afternoon, I will knit on Evan's baby gown while we watch football. Packers vs Bears and then the Steelers vs Jets. May God bless you and fill you with His Love and Peace. This week I should receive 2 big boxes of yarn and rovings that I sent to the Illinois fiber Processing last May...Come back for pictures and then I will start dyeing some. I am sending Marlyn a couple of skeins...can't wait to see what she knits up! |
