W is for Winter

Winter may not have officially arrived yet but you'd never know that by what we are seeing and feeling. Snowy, snowy weather, ice, power-outages, enough wind that we easily found where air was leaking in around an incorrectly installed new window (grrrr), and cold, cold, cold (brrrr) - time to bring out my long underwear for everyday use!

I'm sorry you cannot see the beautiful red roof on our barn, but I love our large wreath on the upper door.  We moved our candle lights out to the farm, and we'll have our Christmas tree out there, too. However, there have just been too many delays to get everything finished up so that we could move before all our family and friends come to stay with us over the holidays. So we'll split our time somehow to enjoy both places.

Here are just a few pictures to show you that W = winter and wonderful. :-)

The birds are racing through seed with this cold snap and first snow cover. I have a heated bird bath for them, too, and all the American tree sparrows (I've seen 5 at one time) lined up for drinks today. 

We can't wait to move and be at our farm full-time!!! Step, step, step.......... :-)
