Proudly posing in front of the new wood pile.
The foreman salutes the new year with a fresh hot cup of instant coffee!
My old little Toby - I fear this could be his last year.

Nice red door.
Snap's special New Year's Eve mocha!
Snap's "bouquet" of lichen on a twig!
We had fun chatting it up while drinking our special coffee drinks!
The sheep are back! Once a year a man who lives elsewhere "runs sheep" on a neighbor's property up our road. This time he had a very well-trained sheep dog out herding and protecting the flock!
The dog definitely was doing his job - I couldn't get too close to snap a photo.
A newborn lamb right by mama!
The sheep huddled together one cold morning.
Donkey affection time!
Bravo on the wood pile.
Running around with the dogs!
Napping with the dogs!
Claire came over for dinner this week. We all had a cozy time in Julie's room!
We also had fun bringing out old stuffed animals - that's Claire's old Spotty on the left, below - and, of course, my beloved Snappy!
Time for the farrier again! The boys really don't care at all for it but they do need to get trimmed!
It was a freezing morning but the sun came out by the time the farrier was almost done.
Hard to believe there was a time when the foreman would not smile for a photo!
That's frost on the ground - bbbrrrrrrr....
OH! MY!! GOD!!! A few days after the sheep arrived, I drove by just in time to see these two goats being dropped off. I'm worried about them - they aren't running with the sheep so the dog can't protect them. I'm going to keep checking up on them. Heck, if they need a home, we have room...I was happy to see they at least had shelter. I had to make a stink last year to get shelter for two sheep left behind.
Coming home after a walk.
My sweet and noble Luigi!
The canine duo.
Bravo in his favorite napping spot.
Some flowers I picked from our yard with my magic frog on the bathroom windowsill - and you can barely make out the donkeys in the view!
