Snow!

It's been snowing a little bit for the past couple days, and surprisingly, there's still quite a bit of snow on the ground. Not enough to go sledding or build a snowman, though. The temperature hasn't been above freezing in over a week, except on Wednesday when it got up to 34 degrees...just long enough to pull back the row cover and pick some lettuce, carrots and turnips for the farmer's market.

Gimli loves snow, so I've been taking him out to play some. I think he'd spend all day out there if I'd let him. I took him with me when I went on a walk to take pictures. Here are some the ones I took.

Here are some cedar logs waiting for Daddy to mill them into boards.

Pipsqueak doesn't look like he cares much for snow.

This is the top of our barn.

I tried everything I could think of, but couldn't get Gimli to look at the camera. I called his name, asked him questions, made funny noises, and I don't know what all; but he still wouldn't look towards me. I finally decided to try cat food.

He likes to play catch with cat food, so I showed him a piece and asked, "Are you ready?"

It worked:

In other news, Jacob and I got a ClearPlay DVD player for Christmas. :)

He's so goofy!
