White Out!

Whew. 

I got up at 4, no snow. 

Keith got up at 5:30 AM to let Abby out for a moment.... no snow. 

This girl was around earlier...


No snow. 

This morning: 


Abby very bravely did chores with me first thing, but then came in. 

Lilly is glad to be in, too... her big paws pick up frostballs and hurt her. 


See the ice on the bowl?  It's 1:40 and I've redone it four times already. 


The starlings are desperate. 


Our birds are all in and on top of each other for the day. 
At least they are warm and dry and have water. 


This was a blessing from God... the snow blew just right so I could open the gate into the henyard without shoveling.  I had to take care of the five little roosters in the little henhouse.  Oh, how I wish I could integrate them so I could close it up. 


It did not stack behind the big henhouse, either... just the way the wind is blowing... so I put a fortex of feed and some water back there (just out of sight) for the wild birds. 
I won't replenish that until tomorrow... too hard! 

The little roosters have feed and water for the night.

Poor little robin! 

That's it for a snowy Thursday from Calamity Acres!
