SpruceHill

The day after

Wow we got a lot of snow yesterday! The official Spruce Hill measurement is 20 inches. It has been a long time since we have had that much snow here in Maryland, and in December too!.

 
We woke this morning to blue skies and beauty everywhere.

Super Daddy had the snow blower out before 8am this morning.

It attaches to the lawn mower so he stays nice and toasty in there! What guy wouldn't want to take this around for a whirl?

Little E is having a ball outside!

The girls made a snow fort under the trampoline. It's the place to be out in the back yard.

  

Little E took some time out of her busy schedule to pose for some shots for me.  

We are keeping snug and warm in the house, baking lots of cookies and spending time together.

Happy snow!

Christmas Snow

We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow at 8:00am.

As the day goes on, the snow keeps coming. Miss H has measured 13 inches, as of 3:00 this afternoon.

Everyone is having a ball!

I went for a walk and the snow was up past my knees!

 


The house looks as pretty as a Christmas card.

Super Daddy is on his second stage of snow blowing. He likes to do it in stages so he can keep a handle on it.

The dogs are good in small doses of snow.

 
But then it's good to come into the warm!

We are expected to get 20 to 30 inches of snow today and tomorrow. What a Christmas snow!   
   

Furry Friday: The Lips Addition

When ever I go out side I get lots of attention. Arial is obsessed with peppermints as you already know.

There are lots of snappy lips!

 

The goats love horse apple treats. They go crazy over them, it's quite comical.

They act as if we never feed them! Pushing each other out of the way to get the next treat!

The tongues are a flappin!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!   
   
 

Family time

A picture from my walk in the woods last weekend 

There is much activity around Spruce Hill. The girls are having a ball with all their cousins. There are a total of seven young teen aged girls and one 7 year old running around, having fun with make overs, filming movies and jumping on the trampoline in the freezing cold. They only surface for food.

It's been a long chat fest for the rest of us, sitting in the kitchen sipping coffee and tea and chatting up a storm. Today is our last full day together, and then everyone has to head home. Tomorrow morning will be full of tears.

Sunday Farm Photos

 





The weather this weekend has been ideal for photo taking. One of the things I like to do the most is just to head out to the paddock and hang out with the animals. They always make me happy.
