For the past four days we have had some cold temperatures here on the farm. A lot of things are covered in ice. It sure is pretty.

The pond started to freeze. Apparently the pond has frozen enough in the past that it was used for ice skating. The boys took ice off of a leaf. Very pretty.

The boys found a few ways to play in the cold.

Ok, so there isn’t any snow but that doesn’t stop determined boys from sledding down a hill.

Of course, what one does the other must do as well.

The goats have their own way of dealing with the cold. A nice fuzzy winter coat.

My way of handling the cold is a roaring fire and a lot of hot tea.

Stay warm my friends.
