Yesterday I shoveled snow - we had about 4 inches and I cleaned the front walk, landing outside the front door, the porch outside the family room sliding doors, the walk between the house and the barn, outside the garage to the walk up to the chicken house - and when I looked out the window at about 11 pm couldn't believe that everything was white ! Measured this morning, looks like 8 inches.
Herbie took the tractor and snow thrower out and cleared the driveway, between the house and barn, all the way down to the pasture, the water and the back gate where we take the hay in to the cows. Thank you, Herbie. When I ran some errands later this afternoon, found that David Hwy still hadn't been plowed ! Our driveway was clear, the road wasn't !
Adam and Summer came and bought the last boy puppy tonight, bye bye little boy, be good and happy. So now we only have 2 little girls left, not bad from a litter of 8, methinks. Took the 3 puppies, Sargeant and Anni with on the errands today, the one little girl gets horribly car sick, just like Anni used to, plus she drooled over the other 2 puppies so they were all wet. Took her about 2 hours after we got home until she felt back to her normal puppy self. Stopped and visited Keith and Carrie at Tractor Supply, he loves the dogs and they love him. He keeps special treats for beasties and they look for him although I keep Sargeant in the trolley as otherwise he piddles everywhere in the store and having to keep on calling for a clean-up is so tiresome LOL.
Tonight, when I was watering the cows, I threw the frizzbee for Anni as usual. The little boy puppy was running around with her, grabbing the frizzbee whenever he could, so Anni ran after him, growled at him and snatched it back. Pretty cool to watch. The frizzbee disappeared completely, so I went looking in the garage, yep, 2 puppies lying on their spot with the frizzbee. After finishing, couldn't find it anywhere, even drove around a bit using the buggy lights to try find it, but no success.
Milked Dolly tonight. This cold weather really makes milking a big schlepp. All the parts are now kept in the house basement to keep them from freezing, so need 2 trips to take everything to the barn, often 3 trips back to the house as I usually have an egg or 2 as well, can't carry them in my pockets as they have broken too often, raw egg in pockets not fun.

The view from our bedroom window this morning. I liked the ice crystals hanging down above the window.
Never seen Rosco sleeping under the maple tree before. Had to put my glasses on to make out what the "bump" lying under the tree was. Opened the window and called him, so he got up and after looking around trotted across the back, see next photo.
Puppies in the garage, so cars outside. Suppose we are being typical Americans, at least it's not furniture etc in the garage.
The cows at morning feeding time ! That's Milkshake not joining in. The sky was blue blue.
The buggy after delivering the hay, before doing straw and water.
Showing how deep the snow was by the buggy tracks.
Isn't it pretty. Herbie still thinks I'm nuts to think the snow is pretty. It's also pretty cold, OK f___ing freezing ! (Cindy said a bad word)!
Same picture, but in HD - I can't decide which one I like best.
I made those gates, planted those posts, strung that wire, fixed that wire.
The back pasture overlooking the new hay field down to the treeline.
The puppies and Anni outside the garage
Back in the warm kitchen, watching Herbie blowing snow on the tractor outside. I think that was one of the best pieces of equipment we bought.
