Last night we were out putting a tarp on the pile of feed that Pat stockpiled. It was dry and cool. Tonight we went to town to get some things we needed on snowpacked roads. The stores were quiet due to the snow I am sure.
Pat was feeding bales and I snapped him going in front of the big picture window. A short time later he called me outside as the cows and heifers had gotten out of their gates. When we came home in the dark from town we both were impressed by how beautiful all the lights, and especially the pine trees with lights, look now with the fresh pretty snow on them. When we put the dog food in the shed we saw the dogs had made themselves some cozy beds in the hay. The big dog, Lilly, had a nice nest of hay at the bottom of the big round bales, and the small rat terrier, Roger, had the best place of all... he came out from a crack in between some of the bales. He is in a huge dog house made out of warm hay! He might even have a few cats back there to snuggle with! We don't need to worry about the dogs. They are about as cozy as they would be here in the house in front of the wood stove.
The cozy warm feeling of being snuggled down in the house as the wet cold snow covers the earth with fresh white cover... winter has arrived and its very pretty and quiet tonight. On the prairie that can all change and probably will tomorrow. For now we are enjoying this light touch of winter on the farm/prairie. Jesus, we love the seasons and we love YOU. Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
Very excited about a project that I am working on!!! Life is a gift - we are called to raise LIGHTS!
