Winter Wonderland

We've dug a path to the shop and barn so we get out to take care of the horses and cats. I love having a place to keep my animals safe and warm during all this winter weather. We also need to be able to continue to work on projects in the shop. Randy has been busy using his lathe--making sawdust and experimenting with some of the wood he's stockpiled over the years. He's been making some cool little wooden bowls in different sizes.


The back patio and arbor are snow covered but beautiful. We've had a few birds (Northern Flickers) earlier this winter but now that they've eaten all the frozen grapes, they seemed to have flown to warmer climates. I can't say I'd blame them, I'd fly to warmer weather too it I could.



" Oh, the weather outside is frightful. . ."

but it's made the yard a beautiful winter wonderland. We haven't had snow like this for several years.

When it snowed it fell straight down, piling high on all the fences, trees and shrubs.

Even the garden looks like a christmas card. . . all snow covered and frosty looking!

I love the snow dusting all the trees and benches. . .it makes even the winter a beautiful time in the garden.
