Last nights snow and ~~

Snow from the snow storm last night.  Not a whole lot... maybe 6". 

Hail storm on top of the snow, adding about a 1/2" of hail.  Plus some good cracks of Thunder and Lighting...

DS cleaned the snow off the stairs earlier... and salted them, so the hail did not build up much here, thank goodness. 

Supposed to have more snow tonight... so I am not sure what is going to happen for tomorrows plans. :P

I should be happy, so far, the power has stayed on!!

Homemade food~

DH, made some yummy Chicken Tenders from scratch.

DS, made some wonderful Chocolate chip cookies to put in the Tardis.

Nothing better than homemade food!

Tangerine Tree~

Bought a small sun lamp, to make sure my tangerine tree had enough light... bought the recommended Lutz citrus fertilizer and it is a very happy tree.  The tiny blossoms smell wonderful in my Art room and I can see fruit starting to develop. Keeping my fingers crossed we will have some tangerines to eat in a couple of months.

Eagle and Vultures~

I was getting ready to feed the outside animals and I saw a whole lot of movement outside the back window.

Ended up being a Bald Eagle and a bunch of Vultures eating something just outside the back pasture. 

I know they will take off the minute I open the back door, so I grab the new camera and start shooting some snaps as soon as I stuck my arm out the door. 

Did not have time to set the Camera up and I am very limited on my distance shots right now.

But here is what I did get.   (I can't wait until I can afford a good lens!!)

Luckily it was only a Possum or Grey fox they were eating.

Snow day walk with Maggie~

Maggie and I out for our short walk today.

The new camera is a bit different, more different than I expected. The old Olympus, loved snow glare, the brighter the better. 

New camera... not so much.   Need more practice!

But Maggie is uber happy being out. LOL  

Start of the path

Snow all over the Trees and Hollys

Hard to see.. down below is the neighbors pond. 

Snow Pictures~

Back of house and you can see the horses run in shed.

Chickens under the Echo.... only bare ground on the place. LOL

Close up of Dyfra

Front of House in the snow... we only had 3" of snow.

I loved the shadows of the trees on the snow.

Orange Chicken~

I was going to go out and take a number of outside photos.  Ah...ya....   I took two and decided I had better go back inside and put on a jacket or something.  Its up to 20* but still... brrr.....

So here you have a photo of a Buff Orphington Hen.
They are just starting to lay, tiny eggs.
