Last week we had our first snow since moving to Washington.
So, needless to say, I was walking in a lot of this on the way to and from the barn. If only it stayed at this nice depth the whole time.
Toni llama is not very fond of the snow it seems.
In fact, both Toni and Dolly have been quite grumpy since the snow began. Dolly has no trouble communicating. Right this minute Im hearing her scold Toni (yet again) for her eating technique. Which really just means, stay outta my bucket.
There have been lots of frozen water buckets to tend to.
And of course, when its really cold, you can see your breath.
Grumpy llamas aside....G is very happy to see the snow.
I think last week J and G had zero days of school due to the snow and Thanksgiving break. They werent concerned.
First order of business? Test the packing ability of the snow.
J says its too dry for snowballs.
G, always the one to try and prove his big brother wrong....thinks the snow is just fine. See, he says.
How could J walk away from that?
After the snow"ball" fight...it was decided to move onto bigger and better things.
For some reason, the sleds didnt make it on the move here...or, they just havent been found yet...Im not certain. I need to look in the barn attic. But in the interim, J tends to be quite resourceful.
A wading pool seems like a great alternative. Run...
Jump in... GO! Yeah, not so much.
Maybe if he turns backwards.
Him and G try to figure this out.
And with lack of a better idea...G decides just to push him down the hill.
A few trips down the hill later...hot cocoa is in order.

Yeah. I know. Ive been on a blogging hiatus. Heres to hoping that I can get back in the swing of things.
My laptop took a turn for the worse a few weeks ago.

I am now on a brand new, straight from the box one.
Fall seemed to happen out of nowhere around here.
And Im quite certain that it will keep moving forward and soon all the rest of those leaves will wind up happily placed next to the others on the ground.
If you can believe it tho...I still have beautiful roses in bloom.
And the ones that arent blooming have left behind these lovely orange pods. They are so pretty to look at on my way out to the pasture.
We have started a new project on the farm. Do you have any guesses on what it might be?
It will be built right there.
And not only does the middle guy get to help...
But the goats feel the need to put in their opinion.
Which, of course, means that the little guy cant be out done. So he makes his way out there, too.
And, so far, Ive not been too much help on the outdoor project. Gasp!! Along with the everyday tasks here on the farm, and the kids, and well, just life....
I think these apples have been setting on the porch for quite some time now just waiting to be used up.
Have you figured out what it is yet? Here, let me give you a hint. It has two words.
And the first one starts with a C. And ends with "hicken".
So, yeah. A lot going on over here in the western state of Washington.
