Guess who's back, back again. Winter's back.

You will see from various recent blogs that we have been having lovely sunny weather. This made our thoughts turn to spring and getting the garden ready for planting things, we planted some things and started making our raised beds.

As you can see from the photos we have got the three raised beds we have wood for finished, but the weather has changed back to being most definitely winter. The temperature hasn't risen above freezing for a couple of days, and has been much colder at night. Today it has been snowing most the morning.
The sheep are more excited than usual about their hay. They seem to be coping outside fine, you can see the snow settles on their backs without melting. It is very cold on the hands clearing the ice out of their water.
The dog still loves the snow (even though her hair isn't as effective as the sheeps at keeping the cold out)


The news papers tell me that adult 'onesies' are very trendy at the moment. Maybe you can't see in the video, but I am wearing a John Deere 'farmer's onesie'. I love it in weather like this, as there is no gap between your top and bottom for the cold to get in. All I need is a fleecy one for indoors wear...
