It is December 28th and our garden is buried under winter’s snow. Its quite a change from this last summer, huh?

Garden Project: abundance

Our chicken family has had it’s first tragedy with the death of a beloved silkie bantam, making my daughter Q very sad. We buried Snowball the silkie bantam with a ceremony of appreciation for her loving ways and the burning of dried sage. We were shin-deep in snow so the ceremony was a quick one.

We have been experiencing a good amount of snow and some interesting ice species. We had hoarfrost here last week, very interesting stuff.
