Donna and the mini horses are warm and safe on the farm...but the wind is still blowing FEROCIOUSLY. Overnight we had windchill of -12 and howling winds up to 50+ mph, coupled with snow. It was NOT nice. The snow has stopped but the wind is still howling, and temperatures are expected to drop pretty drastically today...we are hearing we will get windchills in the -25 to -30 range. We are NOT going to be open for Sample Sunday today...but we hope to be be able to have one next Sunday, December 19th...Stay tuned, and stay warm!

Just some fun photos taken around the farm the last week or so. All pics taken with iPhone, using the hipstamatic app.

First, a quick apology. It's been so long since I blogged! November passed in a whirlwind of activity. I promise to get back to blogging more regularly!
