WINTER  ON  THE  FARM

 

IN THE WINTERTIME--FROM OCTOBER UNTIL APRIL--THINGS ARE  QUIET HERE ON THE FARM


WE TAKE CARE OF OUR ANIMALS--THE HORSES AND THE COWS, THE CHICKENS AND THE WILD BIRDS TOO.  (BIRD FEEDERS ARE BUSY FROM DAWN TO DUSK!)  THE DAYS ARE SHORT,  AND SOMETIMES IT GETS DOWN TO 5 BELOW ZERO.


IN MID WINTER OUR NEW BABY CALVES ARE BORN ! 

IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE THE MOOSE AND WILD HARES ARE TAKING  OVER THE FARM, LOOKING FOR FOOD AND SHELTER.  WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING!
