Winter wonderland

It started snowing last night much to Misty's delight - snowflake chasing is the 'in' kitten sport. We woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow.

The geese don't really know what to make of it all, they have tried eating it and laying down in it. Only one of the chickens has come up to the house this morning, I have put out some leftovers for her and some chicken food. All the others either haven't bothered to get up yet or are in the coup.

OH hasn't gone to work today, our road hasn't been gritted and underneath the snow it is really icy. So, we have lit the log fires, made a pot of tea and opened a packet of biscuits!

That geese photo would make a great Christmas card for next year!

I second Pearlyqueen. I thought about going out and about yesterday to get some snow pictures for next year but then decided it was warmer and safer in the house!

One good thing about the snow and frost is that it should kill off some of the bug in the soil.

Hi Penny, You are right, it would make a lovely xmas card, might have to add a bit of glitter though!

Hi Deborah, lets hope that it kills loads of pesky bugs.
