Monthly Musings On The Farm: Winter Edition

Welcome back to Monthly Musings On The Farm!  Jack Frost has paid us a visit bringing temperatures down to the negative numbers and wind chills that would make Snow Miser smile. Water bowls freeze up occasionally, and then you hear the sound of beaks trying to nibble on the ice.  After the ice is broken and the water is promptly replaced, the waterfowl are happy again.  Since the water comes out of the hose warm, the ducks have taken to using the bowl as a hot tub.  The chickens seem a bit confused as to why a large duck is hogging the water, but the ducks seem pleased with themselves.  Come take a look at some photographs from this frosty winter here on the farm!

How is everything going with your pets at your home?  I hope they are all staying nice and warm!  It's always nice to spend a little extra time with them around the holidays.  What are the temperatures like where you live?  I certainly hope they aren't in the negative numbers like they were here! I'd love to hear so please share with me in the comment section below, or tweet me any pictures you have @thefreckledrose.  Be sure to check back soon for the next edition of Monthly Musings On The Farm!  Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
