Yesterday morning breezed in at -5F, (-21C I think- I need to check). Damn cold. All the animals including Piglet deep in his straw house did very well. And today we go up to 38F apparently with RAIN.
Everyone has extra straw. 
So today I have to be careful that all the new straw for these cold days does not get wet in the rain coming. And with the wind turned to the South – I will have to close the big doors this afternoon to keep the barn dry. That will be interesting for the ducks. 
These next two images are from the day before yesterday. It will be interesting to see how much of this snow can melt in this odd 24 hours of warmth and rain.
Above is the moon.
There is not a lot of rain in the forecast – my hope is that it passes us by.
The little warmth – this little reprieve, will be nice for the animals and the birds – especially the ducks.
Ok!
Off to work

I’m waiting for your class and practical to end so you can draw a map of the Farmy. Make sure to include a North arrow.
Oh yes! I surely will!
Beautiful, but oh so cold!
The moon photo is just gorgeous. All the barn beds look very cozy and warm so happy birds and animals.
Do you have those ice grips to put onto shoes and boots? I hate to think of you sliding all the way to the barn.
Yes I do! They are on my boots already
We just got back from Mexico where we spent the weekend for a wedding! To say the cold was a shock was an understatement! Also, they had said that temperatures were warming up! Too bad they lied. It’s been terribly cold and grey. Hope your hay stays dry.
Maybe it has warmed up! Grey is horrible when it is cold.
Wow, those are some ferocious (but beautiful; ) drifts… Just wondering if you guys had ever considered putting up some snow fencing on that lane way?
Oh, and “squeaky” snow is the kind you need for making igloos… (The NFB/ National Film Board of Canada made a great documentary: ) Here’s the link if you want it: https://www.nfb.ca/film/how_to_build_an_igloo/
Thank you! Just imagine an igloo out in the field!!
Beautiful images Celi … that snow is something else. Stay warm ..
