Look at me! Look at me! Im walking on the pond! 

Anyone who knows me knows I crave snow. The quiet blanket, the brightness, the way it seems to reflect the stars, the crunch under foot, long snowshoes and x-country skis, never mind excuses for hot chocolate. BUT. This year is different. This year our goats are in a shelter where we have no water and no electricity. Which means many things. But it also means I am oddly wishing for warm weather so their ice buckets are not frozen and we won’t have to spend every morning and afternoon hacking at them with an axe. And when there is too much snow it will be very very very difficult to truck in water. So. A change of weather is in heart. Hopefully momentarily.
