New Year's Eve, Monday December 31, 2007

Its snowed almost constantly for a week, though mostly lightly. Most days we've added 2-3 inches to the ground. A couple we've woken up to find 6-8 new inches in the night. We are creeping up on 2 feet of snow total and the world is beautiful, though a bit harder to get through!

We are feeding twice per day right now. I push through the snow to the big barn, where I keep a constant supply of snow out for the young boys. Then I put three portions out for Ryder and the two ladies I have living with him. After that I put out two full bales for the rest of the herd, either in the Back 20 or the Middle 20. Have to keep an eye on the creeks as well - breaking ice with an ax and shoveling snow off of the creekside.

Got the guys back this week finishing our fencing for the winter. The last stretch should get done this week and we will call it quits until spring.
