Snow Day on the Farmette

All of the critters were a little flummoxed by the ice and snow that stormed into town yesterday.  What I thought was going to be a relaxing half day off from work was spent coaxing and cajoling Noelle and Cody Bear across an icy patch in the pasture to the relative warmth of the barn. After about a half hour, I finally spread hay across the ice and lured them in with treats along the way.

This morning we awoke to a farmette decorated in winter white.  While I much prefer the warm summer months, there is something magical about newly fallen snow.
