first "big" snow..


Our first official snow has fallen... a good 10 inches just in time for Christmas.... the dogs had to break paths threw the snow this morning. Fortunately, we have some friends staying with us as well.. so for the cockers, this is good news... they'll let the "big" dogs break threw....
Trevor knows to wait and follow the paths.... he'll leave this up to the young dogs....
Debbie, of course, is right in her element!!! She has never seen snow like this before and is so joyous over it all. I loved watching her experience it for the first time....
sweet face.....
The cockers were quick to come back in. They prefer the woodstove and the couch.. but the younger big dogs stayed out for much of the afternoon... here we have Zuzu, Ullur and Debbie.... they all played so nicely together and came in cold, wet and happy.....
got to see the full moon tonite, rising above the tree line at the edge of the pasture....

The house is pretty much decked out for Christmas now... I keep the white lights in the windows all winter... I like the cozy looks it gives....
Had a buddy walk down to the barn with me to do the night chores.... silly little Mona....
We're getting ready.... it's going to be a grand Christmas..... Reagan's first and Abbie is so excited for Santa....















And I'm hoping that Christmas is filled with wonderful surprises and happy times for us all.......
