Today we are enjoying about 6" of snow. Of course, that enjoyment includes the gorgeous view of our pasture all white, the many birds at our feeders, using our new hot tub, and enjoying the warmth inside of the fireplace, the hot tea, and the good food. It also means enjoying the fellowship of our good friends from Charlotte, David and Carol Ann Trent, who are sorta stranded here until the roads co-operate. But that's great for us.
The down side of course is keeping water un-frozen for the chickens and the goats and dogs. Not easy since we do not have heated water capability. It's about 21 degrees at 4:30 in the afternoon and tonight's forecast is for about 14 degrees with wind chill near zero. This is hard on us here in the central NC area.
The chickens will not come out of the chicken house so I moved their feeders and their water inside. They seemed to like this.
The dogs love the snow, especially our Lanceer, Daisy. this is her kind of stuff and she has been rolling in it all day.
Stay warm and we'll try to do better with the blog in the future.
