Last night, but really, very early this morning, so qualifies as Saturday's photo. Our eldest son returned safe and sound from his trip, and had a great time.

 Another stormy day - high winds and blowing snow.

Calm by the end of the day - left with great snow drifts.

Something different.

 

Sparkly snow drifts this morning after two days of high winds.

 GingerSnap! is easily entertained - a paper bag is pretty exciting.

 She dug a long trench pushing her ball in the snow and digging for it (luckily she only digs in snow and not in mud).

 Sunset.

 Great colours on the snow this morning. 

 A flock of Grey Partridge walking around the house.

 A quick break from their favourite game of batting at each other around the door.

 Sheet of ice under the little bit of fresh snow this morning (freezing rain overnight).

 Guess who begs to have her paw held!

 Most mornings I wait for Molly.

 Miss Maggie joined us on our way - above freezing temperature today.

 Third frosty, foggy start to the day - great temperatures.

 From today's walk. The town on the horizon is about 15km (9 miles) away.

 February 2026 home photo.

Molly stopping to smell the anniversary flowers.

 

 A bit warmer temperatures recently, and some of the chickens don't mind coming outside (the youngest ones seem the most tolerant - all the red ones in the photo).

 Miss Maggie puts up with GingerSnap!'s antics when she is waiting for food.
