Another Hoarfrost Morning

I woke this morning to another very white day.  There was fog and hoarfrost.

even the icicles have hoarfrost on them

could barely see the windmill up north

Penelope eating a corn leaf

Frodo looking through a spiky gate

Sky–his jolly ball stands out against all the white

old oak leaves that didn’t fall to the ground

blue jay in the plum tree

sparrow in the maple tree

leftovers from the rain/ice/snow storm we had–now covered in hoarfrost

I will say it makes for beautiful scenery.

One Foggy Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve began gray, foggy and drizzly.

It must have been too foggy for Lemuel to see the fence because he was stuck.  Since he was stuck, I decided it was a perfect day to do a round of copper.

He gets stuck again, and I’ll put a horn apparatus back on him.

It really was time.  A couple of the girls are looking a bit depleted.  Hopefully, this will get their fur back in shape and help them out headed into winter.

The sun came out later, and it was an unusually warm day, so it was actually pretty nice to go spend an afternoon with the goats.

Benji has gotten really friendly.

Ava

I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

Our First Real Snow of the Year

Friday morning dawned beautiful with a pink sunrise.  (This is the view out of my classroom window–the gym is called the “Round House”)

By the time I got home, the rain had arrived.  The goats were trying for a last little bit of eating, but there was a drizzle and fog setting in.

Overnight it changed into snow.

Sky

Why, yes, it is still pitch black out when I go out to milk right now.

Zinnia headed back to the barn after getting milked.

By the time daylight broke, the clouds were gone and the sun was shining.

Coral in the Love Shack

There was a quick bit of ice as it changed from rain to snow.

It’s hard to see the sparkle of the ice in the tree tops.

The llamas were first to venture out to pasture.

Maybeline, Aurora, and Odie

It didn’t take long for the goats to come out too.

Xerxes coming out

The herd

I am so grateful the storm we had was just a mild snow.  My heart goes out to those who suffered such devastation from this system.
