It was another warm day today. The highest all week.
Plus the sun made a return and with the warm weather, our pond melted, making our ducks very happy once again.
I'm figuring this should be one of the last warm days of the year, if not for a while, Afterall, this is what it looked like this time last year.
And poor Farm Girl was hauling buckets of water to the horses in knee deep snow and below zero temperatures.
The boy had been home on a four day long snowday as the second largest storm of the year had struck this exact time a year ago. Highway 402 (one of Ontario's provincial highways) which is located about 30 kilometers south of our farm had been shut down due to the storm, trapping thousands of drivers. The Canadian Military were eventually called in to rescue the over 200 trapped motorists. But today, a year later, this is how we spent the day.
We let the girls out on this fine unusual December day. I figured they will probably be locked up for the next three to four months as we don't have a proper outdoor pen for them, so they might as well enjoy it while it lasted. It was young Holly's first time out of her stall.
Glad you are enjoying it while you can. We try to walk our goats around every other day, no matter how cold it is. Winter is hard on everyone, but it too will pass. You know they are going to expect it now ; )

I live a very simple life on a small hobby farm along with my husband, three kids, and an assortment of animals. Life may be simple but I love every minute of it.
