Not so graphic: Snow pictures

Lots of pictures of lots of snow ...

Every day I look out the window and say to my husband Gary, "Look! Snow!" as if it is an odd occurance. Of course I am being sarcastic. It is getting tiresome. Luke the turkey does not care. He struts all day around one of the chicken coops. I tell him he is going to wear a moat around it.

Our driveway is steep -- very steep. We have had mostly good luck the past couple years getting up even with snow. There are some days where it is harder than others. I was so thankful last night, taking Sarah home from the hospital, that we could get up the driveway. Took a few tries, but we made it.

The ducks are good about getting around in the snow. If they can't walk through it, the fly over it. I also shovel paths for them to the food etc. Here is their shelter and the pond in the distance. On colder nights they sleep in the barn.

Everyone including some of the ducks, perch around the little stall in the middle of the barn. Here are 2 turkey hens. The sign in the back is from a motorcyle race that uses the back end of the farm as part of its 10-mile track.

Murphy hates the snow. He hates the ducks too, so he must be truly miserable in this picture.

Here is Loretta the Leghorn. The barn is a bit crowded. Here are some haybales, some of them are in the bucket of the skid steer.

Here a duck follows a footpath to the open area gary has plowed with the tractor.

Open driveway! The ducks are happy.

Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow

This is Bugsy. She should be next to kid. Nala is getting close too, but she is still up in the pasture with the others. We will send Ma up with the others and bring Nala down in the next day or so.
