Winter as harsh as it can be, brings it's own beauty. It's fun to be able to capture these moments on camera and show to others. The homestead can be full of adventure always but it's especially in winter when challenges present themselves. Frozen pipes Cold dangers to new born lambs Impassable roads Battery failures So it's good to go out and capture the winter sights when they present themselves. I hope everyone else is enjoying your winter where ever you may be. One of many trails we use on the homestead.  The homestead tractor  The laundry house  The milk cow  One of our sheep  Part of our frozen driveway  1500 gallon water tank  Cedar branch  What keeps our cabin warm  The brick oven  Brick oven ice  Hope you enjoyed the photos!

I don't have livestock to worry about during cold snaps, but I do have almost 2 miles of icy back road to traverse before I reach pavement, and I am glad studded snow tires aren't forbidden here. The temperatures have a nasty habit of dancing back and forth across freezing, which can result in a glaze of very smooth ice on the roads.
