Brrrr!!

From late December until about a week ago we had snow, snow and snow! And wind. It stayed below freezing for three weeks, averaging about 20 degrees. I know a lot of you are probably thinking, "well isn't it like 50 below all the time there?" and "doesn't it snow all winter long?" Actually, no it doesn't. We have heard that three weeks of below freezing is actually pretty cold for this time of year! We are after all relatively far south. Currently we are back to the browns and faded greens of bare ground. But the snow should be back any day now.








After a month of molting and no egg production (that was back in October) the chickens came back in full force. We are averaging about 2-3 eggs a day. Which is pretty great considering we lost one chicken to unknown causes and we are fairly positive that another is now longer laying. We sure do love fresh eggs.





Some drifts were past our knees. And all the doorways had to be dug out on a regular basis.




Inde loves the snow.
