January Thaw


We’ve been experiencing a substantial thaw over the past few days (and a torrential downpour on Sunday that washed away even more snow).  It was in the mid 40s over the weekend; felt deceptively like spring.  The grass has reappeared in large swaths, and the chicken areas are mud holes that would do a pig proud.  Daisy2, usually a startling white hen, has looked dipped in chocolate over the past couple of days. 

Thanks to the metal roofs on the house, barn and garage, we’ve had some spectacularly loud snow slides, as well as some dramatic ice sculpture.  Nora captured this photo the other day and called it “Ice Fingers.”
