Okay, a bit of a stretch after having lived in Upstate New York and New England for most of my life, but we have had a couple of storms one after the other in the past week. Today's was about 6 inches so far, with another couple being predicted for tonight into tomorrow. Had to cancel my egg delivery for Chalk Restaurant until later this week, and take yet another day off of work. And because neither I nor my husband has a 4 wheel drive vehicle (other than the Rhino utility vehicle at the farm), we walked to the farm this morning to take care of the chickens. Fran took a couple pictures as we approached the farm, included here for verification of our snowy day.
Heading up the road toward the barn.
Rounding toward the barn, lettuce in hand for the hens.
Once we got the hens all taken care of (that includes their daily lettuce since they are not going out on pasture and several leaves of straw for them to scratch through which keeps them entertained), we did take the Rhino back to the house just in case. It is about 4/10's of a mile walk from the house to the farm, and it was a chilly walk! Had a cup of hot cocoa once we got home, and enjoyed watching the other birds at the feeder. I sure am looking forward to spring.
Lots of cardinals in the trees.
