First Snowfall



About a week or so ago we had our first snowfall. I took some pictures just at sunrise. It was a light dusting,just enough to make everything look pretty. Second picture shows our old out building surrounded by our new paddock. I figured the old shack had some life in it yet and would be a good run in for the sheep. Last photo is Julip and Trinket sporting their wet weather wear. Trinket looked like a stuffed toy though the flash made her eyes glow.

Fall Farm Pics



First 2 pictures are of our geese, or I should say Hayden's geese. The single goose is our Gander we brought from Belwood. We bought him with a bunch of ducklings from the Fur and Feather sale a number of years ago. For the longest time he was convinced he was just an ugly duckling. Now with the introduction of 3 more geese he isnt quite sure what he is. Somedays he stays with his quacky family and other days he flaps and honks and parades around with the goose faction.

The picture above are our trio of Jacob rams. Fall is when the rams get to parley with the ewes. Smore (4horns) Aidan (middle) and Honor (lilac) are ready to begin communications. We expect beautiful lambs in April.

Autumn

We had some beautiful fall days and a lot of not so beautiful. I did manage to take a few photos to document our first fall in Harriston. This one is one of the ancient maples that grace our driveway.
