More Frosty Scenes

I had such a nice time photographing the hoarfrost Saturday morning that you get another whole post of frosty pictures.

At least it’s beautiful.

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

Sky–his jolly ball stands out against all the white

old oak leaves that didn’t fall to the ground

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

I will say it makes for beautiful scenery.

Planning Ahead

I know I have alluded to replacing the greenhouse, but I’m not sure that I shared that it is a done deal.  I’ve signed a contract with Morton Buildings, and they are going to be putting up a new building next May/June-ish.

It clearly needs to come down.

I have to get the old building torn down.  I think I have that arranged, but the guy doing it has to have it done before he starts planting.

It is partly in the barnyard and partly in the yard.

That means it will be coming down around spring break.

I’ll have to figure out how to get the outside pen down and then put back up.

I still have a lot of junk around it that I need to clean up.

I’ve given up.  I’ll just plan on kidding in the buck room and garage again this time–in March and April.

It better be the last time.

I’m really excited about the new building going up because it will be insulated and properly vented for livestock. In addition to kidding, it will be good for my sick and old ones. I really wish I had it done right now for Myson and Margarita.

Myson and Margarita

Myson is picking up weight and looking good. He seems to like the room service.

Myson

But Margarita is still thin and she is cold.  I had to put the heat lamp back on for her.

Margarita

She hardly ever comes out of the Love Shack.  I’m not sure how much longer I can support her.
