First Snowfall of 2018

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

When darkness fell on the homestead, the skies were crystal clear. Stars were shining brightly above. The air was crisp and a bitter wind blew all around. I heard a noise outside and went to check on the chickens. What I saw surprised me. The ground was blanketed with freshly fallen snow. Snowflakes fluttered all around me. It was our first snowfall of 2018. While Wiley and Wyatt have experienced snow, this was Wynoka’s first snow. I opened the back door, and she cautiously stepped out onto the porch. She sniffed at the cold white stuff. Then she flew down…

Munchkin especially wanted snow for Christmas this year, so we decided to head out on a little exploration adventure in search of snow. We headed up to Big Bear Lake. It’s a long, curvy, steep road which means Munchkin’s tummy wasn’t too happy, but that all went away once we got to the top. We made a quick stop at the Big Bear Discovery…

Playing in the Snow

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

After we got everything squared away with the snow situation and the horses were settled in a comfortable barn, it was time to have some fun in the snow. The dogs absolutely loved being out in the snow. They ran around like crazy when it first started. It quickly turned into Wiley bounding around like a crazy dog and begging for Wyatt to play with him. Wyatt was fascinated by all of the animals tracks. He realized that he could very easily see the animals and birds thanks to the newly fallen snow. Yes, he chased Wiley around and played,…
