snowshoeing | Fernwood Nursery & Gardens

We had a few more inches of snow during the night. Now, the sun is out and this winter landscape is quite stunning. The real cleanup began this morning. The driveway gets completely cleared, cars moved, paths tidied, and of course….more wood brought in. The hatch door allowing the chickens out into their run gets lifted and I tramp down their area wearing my snowshoes. They are very thankful to get out and absorb some vitamin D. The sheep greet the new day, they are self propelled snowplows, and are happy to have their breakfast outdoors. On the other hand, our trusty ( wimpy) dog Lucky, continues the theme of yesterday’s post……Comfort During The Storm….by curling up in his favorite chair with his beloved fluffy stuffed animal. Pathetic.
Looks like more winter weather coming at the end of the week. This week we’ll have most of our seed order completed and will post some thoughts and suggestions. Later, an afternoon wandering the woods on snowshoes, checking for tracks and signs of the wild creatures that roam the land around us. Enjoy this bright and wonderful day, where ever you are!
