Winter came, just popping in to remind me that he is on his way.
No resting on your laurels, miss c.
Winter is still a gentle voice in the distance, but he is on the road. 
But so beautiful, this cold. I guess the spiders are gone. Their webs are frozen solid.
I shot the Daily View early. So you could see what I felt. Are your fingers feeling that cold?
And then I encountered an interesting problem. Because the cover of the old temperature gauge is broken, the inside was all iced up and misty. I wonder if we will even be able to see it when it gets really cold. This will be interesting. However the maxi/mini tells it all. A low of 18 I guess. Minus 7C. Not too cold yet.
It is 24 (-4C), out there, as I write. That is still within the bounds of live-able cold. And the sky is bright so we will have a good day.
I wrote an adequate number of words yesterday, but today, after visiting the Old Codger, I expect to get in a good afternoons writing.
You all have a lovely day. Please feel free to steal or share any of these images. I don’t mind sharing. My favourite for my pinterest page today is the one with the treehouse in the background.
Rug up warm..

I love the first frost!! As long as you’re decked out in woolens!
I think it’s arriving here on Sunday! getting my bulbs in and the last few clearance Pine trees planted!
These are amazing shots! Lovely.
oh what you captured in those photos…..i believe I need a cup of hot tea if I’m
to look at them again !!
Good morning, Ceci, I am a fairly new reader but your blog came highly recommended and I can see why! It is a pleasure to open my email each morning and see what is going on on your farm.
This post reminded me of Michigan winters growing up. Now in California, I miss the frost and fall and winter-type things but not the snow. Now that we have sheep and chickens my husband reminds me that I would not be happy breaking the ice on the barn water every morning!
I am leaving for a visit to Australia soon for a bunch of sheep farm visits, so I will take you along! Thank you for sharing your daily adventures.
Good morning Jacalyn, welcome welcome to the farmy, I am thrilled that you are off out to Aussie to look at the sheep farming out there, it is very different to ours.. and tell your husband I carry a big metal standard for wacking the ice in the water troughs every morning! c
Hoar frost is perhaps the most beautiful part of winter. I don’t miss the bitter prairie cold, but I do miss the definite season changes. The impatience and cosmos are still blooming in the garden. The leaves are thinking about falling. And it rains incessantly. That’s our fall into winter mode. I do so love the early morning dawn photograph. Hugs Virginia
This is the first winter for me with the farmy, and it’s going to be interesting… I vicariously enjoyed your lovely summer during our mild winter but now as the weather warms up for me I’m seeing your [beautiful] images of the equivalent of just about the coldest I’ve ever had to deal with in reality, and I know for you it get sssooooo much colder.
We too had a frost last night. What makes that unusual is that We live in the sunny Mangamahu valley, just south of Wanganui and it is supposed to be spring here. Tomatoes and basil survived but the pumpkins didn’t look too happy.
Bang! And all of a sudden, it’s white and cold! Stay warm, Celi! xx
Wow, big change! You’re living in a land of extremes, Celie.
The frost looks so pretty that it is easy to forget the brrrrr factor. Good luck with the writing.
That’s an incredible shot at sunrise, C. Wow, winter really has arrived. I feel my hibernating instincts kicking in..
Very pretty frost photos!
So beautiful! Cold, but beautiful 🙂
Chilly! But gorgeous photos. 🙂
