Snow-covered dirt clods and etc.

We has a sprinkling of snow this morning while I was milking. Kristine came running from watering the goats: "Mama, Mama! It's snowing! I TOLD you it would!" I had nay-say ed her earlier after looking out the window.

We like to celebrate the little things. So since it was snowing, we had to make some Snow-Covered Dirt Clod cookies.



















There really wasn't very much snow--so the sprinkling on the cookies had to be suitably sparse.









She's been just a little bit sick, so I'm not sure what that look on her face is meant to convey. Eating cookies under duress, maybe? 'It's going down, but then...?' LOL poor girl slept this all morning, and only rallied when the cookies were in the making.



This is Allie the Alpine (goat) and Opal the Himalayan (rabbit). They are both very sweet and friendly and perfectly tame. Opal loves to sit on Kristine's lap when she gets a chance and to dig burrows in the garden. Allie won't eat apples, but likes carrots. She's bred and due to kid in February.









And here's the trampoline. This is where Kristine can be found on any sunny day. I've been known to join her from time to time, and we have fun counting how many 'knee-up' jumps we can do in a row.





She also works and works to come up with a new trick to show. This one's a somersault. Very nice.



She really doesn't like the cold, so she pretty much lives in her long underwear. I think she put it on sometime around the first of October and hasn't had it off since. Smart kiddo.
