Just For YOU!

 Moonie wanted to do something very special for all of our friends who have wished him well during his recent health issues.  He's received so many hugs from you all, that he thought he should return the favor.

Just a little internet affection from our big old blond hunk.

(Who, I might add, is presently completely filthy from rolling in the mud that is secondary to a tiny snowfall we had yesterday morning.)

Because he is physically unable to hug you all back, (and it's a good thing with as muddy as he is!)

he ask that he be allowed to send you a big kiss.

A very big, very enthusiastic, very sloppy kiss!

Mwaaaaaaah!  I'll bet you wish he had arms!!

Keeping our farm animals nice looking during the winter is an exercise in futility.  The horses roll as soon as there is any mud.  The sheep stay out in all weather.

And the goats just poop in their bed.

"You'd never have this problem if you only had donkeys!" says Daphne.

Yesterday brought us just a small taste of what is to come.

Just enough snow fell to make me excited!  Tomorrow we are predicted to have a winter storm with up to 12 inches of snow!!  There is nothing better than the first snow of the season... especially when it happens right before Christmas.

The pumpkins that lined this pasture fence have all been eaten by the chickens, and are replaced by our wooden snowmen that Hubbs and I made a few years ago.  If the predictions hold true, these fellows will be sitting with their bottoms in the snow.
