First Snow In...a Really Long Time

We had a little snowstorm on Sunday and awoke to a few inches of beautiful white stuff yesterday.  (The radio announced it was our first snow in about 290 (can't remember the precise number) days. I took my camera with me during morning chores.

The coop. Only a few chickens ventured out into the the snow all day, but the goose and ducks explored the winter wonderland.

Behind the coop - coop, barn, loafing shed.

The cows had waded through the  ankle-deep snow to the top of the hill in the east pasture to get a better view. they came plowing down the hill at top speed when they sw I had hay for them.

Snow sheeting off the high tunnel greenhouse. We noticed some rabbit damage already on the peach and plum trees - must get hardware cloth around them pronto!

The Warre hives look cute in the snow, but a couple hours after this photo was taken my backordered hive insulation arrived; I spent the afternoon wrapping the hives with it, and now they have unpicturesque  black quilted plastic tied around them.

A view of the garden shed and back of the granary from the beehives.

The "back yard."
