After waiting for what has seemed like an eternity,
the first snow of Winter arrived this weekend.
Now, you may remember that we had a 6 inch snowfall
on the weekend after Halloween.
(Yes, that was the weekend we drove to W.V. to pick up our piglets,
and drove home in a blinding snowstorm....
but that was Autumn, and this is Winter!!)
Saturday morning Hubbs and I donned our warmest, snow-proofiest clothes
and set out to do the AM chores.
The dogs ecstatically romped through the snow,
with the exception of poor old Hickory....
the snow was as high as her back.
This was the first experience with snow for the pigs.
They curiously headed out of the barn, sniffed around in the snow,
and then quickly headed back in for dry bedding.
The turkeys thought nothing of the snow, and spent all weekend out in it.
The guineas, however, stayed inside the turkey house all day long...
never even letting a single toe touch the snow.
The goats waited until the last flake fell to venture out.
The chickens spent their day in the barn around the horses...
who never mind the snow.
After chores were finished, we drove the gator out to our campsite in the woods
to check on our tent.
We try to keep the tarp and roof free from the weight of heavy snow....
It was a beautiful wintry day....
enjoyed by all...
with time spent here...
when we weren't outside.
PS....I also spent some time this weekend doing this....
and this....
How about you...
how did you spend your weekend??

We to got more snow on Sunday... Gary has one of those roof-snow rakes like your's,,, to help alievaiate the snow weight off the roof. Worth their weight in gold.
Went spent the weekend pricing out different types of corral enclousures for my "Girlier" who wil be up here in May,,, We also are pricing out enclosures/stalls etc... Soon I will be standing on the street corner, sign in hand, "will work for horse stuff" lololol!
Stay warm and have fun sewing those awesome aprons of yours!
