And then it snowed. What a piece of joy it was. As the old Codger said this is the first real snow we have had in two years.
Only a little on the ground so far yesterday when I took the shots, (every image on this blog is from the last 24 hours remember, dawn to dusk) but there was some more snow overnight, we will see how it looks when I go out for the first feeds.
Blue Murphy has been asking in his most plaintive voice whether he can take his coat off now. No Murphy, you are the littlest, your coat stays on until after the storm.
Cats in the light of the reflected snow, a beautiful light, a little cold but it is light!
But not everyone can sit inside and loaf about. 
The snow we had yesterday was that delightful poignant snow that falls with delicate brush strokes through the still air. 
Softly and quietly laying itself down with minute, filings of white.
The beehive waits for the bees. 
Queenie waits too , though she is not entirely sure why. 
But most of all: Stalkers garden waits for spring.
Good morning. The wind picked up in the night coming out of the North so I hope that we will have some good snowdrifts. And not leaning up against the South doors with any luck. It was not too deep when I trudged out there to feed the lambs in the night but I am guessing we got about 4 or 5 inches. Just a nice amount. The sky is still dark so it is hard to tell. John has gone out to clear a path to the woodshed. The lane has disappeared. School is cancelled. And the windows are curtained with snow. Excellent! Farming is not cancelled though so I had better suit up like a moon man and off I go.
Have a lovely day. If my homeschooled kids do get through I believe that snowmen will be high on the list of tasks for the morning!

Blue Murphy steals the show in this set of photos; how cute is a new lamb with a blue sweater: that’s something you don’t see every day! Enjoy your white day…
YAY SNOW!
Do you have any idea how strange it feels to type that sentance? 😉
Here’s to moisture that soaks gently into the earth, bringing the promise of fresh young plants…and soon!
It is so nice to have a proper snow.
I love the blue Murphy picture!
If yesterday’s post was pure joy, today’s is pure poetry.
I have nicked the Murphy pic – watch this space!
Haiga here.: http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/celies-littlest-murphy/ There are more in the offing but I’ll keep them for another day.
I hope you haven’t disappeared under a snowdrift.
Blue Murphy!!
Aaaah, Blue, you are a beaut! I reckon when he outgrows his blue coat he should have a blue collar. Good morning to you all, and a happy snow day, c. xx
I love snow! I need to get Jen a job in a place where we get some!
Extraordinary picture of Blue Murphy – the light makes it looks like a montage: and the cats look lovely too. Much as I love the look of snow, I certainly prefer it in pictures. In my mind, farmers deserve medals and loads of money, neither of which they get.
what a trouper!
Stalkers garden is patiently waiting! Have you started your seeds inside? No doubt Our John has his tomatoes going, right??? xo
You finally got your snow! 🙂 Snowing here too, of course! Ha! It is gorgeous when it blankets the trees and falls out of the sky though. Can’t really complain. Enjoy your kids today! ~ April
Goodness! What’s Big Dog doing out there in the snow without his coat?! Maybe that’s who the Murphy is getting his idea from!
Christine
I was wondering that as well. Where has his coat gone?
In the wash, back on now though! he was only without it for a few hours, but what a different dog! c
How wonderful! The snow is so beautiful, but you can keep it up there! We are having what is thought to be the last of our cold snaps (we don’t really have winter just “cold snaps”. Easter is the last weekend in March and that marks the last hint of danger from a freeze. I hope you get to really enjoy your snow, with like a good book and some hot chocolate- if a farmer ever has time to sit with a book…
Love Blue Murphy!!!! Beautiful much needed snow for the farm!
So some of that snowstorm we had did end up reaching you. Total here in Faribault, in southeastern Minnesota: 10 inches.
