15 inches of snow!

Cousin Dakoda, Dahlia & Dawson

We are in a true Winter Wonderland here in the mountains! The snow started on Tuesday & it snowed up until this morning. Last night was the heaviest of the snowfall. We woke up to find 15 inches of snow! I have a photo attached of the yardstick that I used to measure it. The kids have enjoyed sledding & snowboarding all down the hills. We enjoyed making snow cream, yum! Dean is in Haiti on a mission trip till next week, so we built him a snowman with the hopes that some of it will still be visible when he returns. We miss him.

Ducklings & Chicks!

Well, our Peking ducklings are now outside in their own space in the barn. They will be enjoying our pasture once it is spring & will have a more permanent home of their own.

Our Christmas Eve chicks have really grown & have their own corner of the barn. They have plenty of room to spread their wings. Once it is spring, they too will be roaming the grounds & enjoying the land.

We want to introduce our new farm resident..."Chickadee". She is a 6 year old black Australorp hen. She no longer lays eggs & needed a new home. She is enjoying overseeing our chicks & being a good "granny hen". We will introduce her to our adult free range chickens in a few weeks, once she is used to her new surroundings.
