After a beautiful, long fall, winter has finally arrived. This morning we awoke to find a nice blanket of snow on the ground. With more snow and below zero temperatures forecasted for our area, we set to work preparing the animals quarters for cold weather.
Even though we have plenty of shelter in the barn for all the sheep, most of them prefer to stay out in the snow!

Edison and his flock of girls munch on fresh hay while Benjamin carries a bale of straw into their shed.

Emily carries extra straw back to the barn for later use.

WoW! What a change of weather. I love the snow blankets. It looks like everyone is taking it all in stride. I'm happy too see Edison with his girls. Thanks again and again for all the picture updates!Lisa
I'm enjoying catching up on the latest happenings on your farm, Emily! I can't believe how cold it is already there - we are just getting our first hard frosts here. Thanks for sharing the photos!
Wish you could have been there Saturday too: hopefully someday we can meet your family!!
