The chickens were getting braver today in the snow and ventured out to see what they could eat. 
It was such a pretty day. After a little more heavy snow this morning, this afternoon the snow was falling softly and it was so calming to see. Once hubby got home we cleared the driveway, provided the chickens with fresh food and water, and hauled in some more wood for a fire tonight. One time today the snow was falling so lightly and a cardinal flew across the back yard. It was just a great moment, the bright red of the bird against the white snow and green trees 
Hope you got to experience some beauty today in your life

Love all your photos! Good luck with your farm goals too. It seems we are two peas in a pod with our country lives, 2 dogs, and like of building a fire at night in the winter.
I look forward to following along with you.
