Winter Walkabout.... Homestead 2008



On Sunday, 12/21, the first day of winter,
Sugar and I took a walk around the homestead...
This is what we found.

A puddle of water from the inch of rain Saturday night and Sunday morning.
And the ferns totally brown.


The garden barren and mulched over.


The sky grey and the trees devoid of leaves.

The chickens were trying to find a dry spot. Still giving up their precious treasures.

Snuggle up by the roaring fire and have a warm and safe Holiday Season!

  1. Lely to end with the fire :) This is a nice contrast to the pictures you took when it was greener. No snow there? It is freezing here!

  9. As much as I hate the rain, I'm glad it poured this weekend just to get rid of all the ice on the sidewalks and roads. I fell twice, so I was ready for the ice to melt. Haha.

  11. That roaring fire looks like just the perfect spot to sit and relax, especially after a long walk. I sure do miss fireplaces.

  12. The pictures are wonderful. Your little sugar is a doll!. I'm so glad most of our 15 inches of snow is gone. Still a little hanging out in the driveway. I never thought I'd be glad to see it rain...but it is better than more snow. Glad I'm not in Spokane...very bad there!
