New Years Eve 2017

We had a true blue norther blow in and it is below freezing and ice is covering everything! It was beginning to snow as we did evening chores. Thankful that all critters were well, had plenty of feed, and protection from the weather. Thankful for a warm fire in the house, and thankful for all the many blessings I have. 

I will continue this photo journey another year, but I will be posting on a new blog.
