Winter has definitely arrived, with temperatures dipping way below zero (-15C this morning) just lately. But it is hard to complain when you wake up to skies like these...

Winter is the most beautiful season around here. It is a shame that most of our visitors choose to come in the warmer months. So..I thought I would take some photos while doing my chores this morning...after I get wrapped up I head out to the beautiful new hayshed, which you will notice is keeping everything (wood, hay, snowblower, bikes) wonderfully snow-free!

Then over to the sheep/chicken barn...

The chickens...deciding if they really want to get their feet cold...and this is Roosty, our new rooster...handsome isn't he?

And back to the house...

And more discretely, the kitties want to know what I am up to..."ah...she spotted me...hide!"

"But you are going to feed us? Right?"

"Seriously...where is the food?"

Sorry...my kids laugh their heads off when I talk for the kittens...Erich just gives me a look that lets me know it is really not that amusing :)
Have a wonderful day wherever you may be.
