Snow and Gabe's Birthday!

 















Last Sunday after church we picked up some lobsters to celebrate Gabe's birthday early. The kids fully enjoyed celebrating Valentine's Day, getting ready for Gabe's birthday celebration and celebrating with him when he got home.

We have all been enjoying/loathing all of this new snow.  We got two back to back storms with barely time to clean up after one before the next one came.  It has been lots of work this year to keep the paths to both the chickens and pigs clear.  On the upside, the skiing is awesome right now!

The pigs have become free ranging pigs because we have gotten so much snow in such a short time I couldn't keep up with digging out the electric fence. They are going to slaughter in a week, so hopefully the snow is deep enough to keep them in the paths and out of the driveway like in this picture.  Thankfully, Gabe has fast running through deep snow skills and cut her off at the bottom of the driveway.  We did put a wheelbarrow blocking the path and everyone seems happy to stay in the backyard... for now;) At least we have happy pigs who know how to enjoy life!
