Sows in Snow

A winter scene last week in our farmyard after the Thursday night snow. Fresh, clean, new snow that doesn't blow around is definitely beautiful. Especially if followed by a sunny day.

On a sunny day last week I snapped this picture of a group of our sows enjoying the snow and waiting their turn at the feeder. The bare spot is where I dumped some shelled corn on the ground as an appetizer and they cleaned up the corn and the snow! The current warm, drizzley, foggy weather we are experiencing is melting our pretty snow. We have enjoyed regular snows this winter, but they only last a week or so and then they melt and we have to start all over again.
