Good Sunday morning to you!
It has been awhile since I have written a post on life around here,the "farmette", so in between snow piles and received gifts...there will also be an update on ~The Girls!
Get ready, grab a cuppa because this post is photo heavy with lots of snow!
These photos are from a week ago~pre snow~but from this sky we knew something was coming and I was lucky enough to capture these glorious colors!
A frosty beginning as Chum and I head to check on The Girls!
Chum brings his ball everywhere- just in case Momma wants to throw it!

| Kind of eery but beautiful look of the trees this morn... |
Oh how I wish you could hear them!
Squawking away-
"what did you bring us - snacks?", "Can we go out in the snow?" "When will winter be over?"
yup,I am sure that is what they were saying!I speak chicken!heehee

| honestly they could care less about this slice of bread, the bagel pieces were worth fighting over though! |
 |
Still laying 5-6 a day even with the cold!
The blue eggs come from Emily- my pretty brown girl ")

Look at the size of this one~
It's the biggest yet!

| Okay Chickens are good~ can we play throw the ball now?! |
Meantime a few days with no snow and we cut and cleared this area on the bank, so when spring arrives, we'll have a beautiful view of the stone surrounding the pond.
From local residents, we have learned that the pond was dug over 65+years ago to gain the limestone from it-locals used to swim in it as kids. Me? yea, probably not!
This week was a week full of mail gifts!
First was a belated birthday gift from my son Len and beautiful daughter-in law Neda!
I had to show the packaging because they used"wallet tape" to wrap it! heehee This is actually duct tape, but I call it wallet tape as when Len was 12 years old, he made his first wallet using duct tape! Clever son-makes himself a new one new every year since!
The package had a really sweet card with instructions on brewing my bag of tea,Neda made for me, and relaxing,while slipping on the cozy new slippers that were included~I love my kids~they are just wonderful! All three of them! and,yes, this tea is delicious!
Also, on Monday came our snow storm- high winds, white outs, and over a foot of snow- as well as a snow day for me!
White out from my studio window
Yes, that faint black line above the center pane is the road!
as seen from my kitchen window...
Chum keeping cozy inside!-heehee-
yes, I opened the door and all that snow tumbled in-argh!
the hottub is still there, will just have to shovel my way over to it! heeehee
My next mail day was Wednesday with this most wonderful package- all the way from Belgium,Europe!!
I received a most wonderful and beautiful surprise from my very talented,dear friend, Ruth Levy of lerusho.com
Thank you Ruth for this gorgeous tag and atc which I will always cherish !
Also in the package were some gorgeous Gelli pulls and ephemera!
The package arrived safely~thank you again,my friend!
The snow had finally stopped...
Chum showing just how deep the snow is- and how much fun it is to play in it!
Luckily we had enough wood cut and split already- so we did not have to dig this pile out
