First Snow

We are in the midst of our first snowfall of the season.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.... Anyway, This is the season of frozen poop and chipping it off the ground when it warms up.  Good times.  But the real goodness is in the fact that no matter how messy it gets down there, we have no flies, no real problems with parasite transmission, and no unfortunate "feedlot" odor.

And for the family, who are  now reading the blog from time to time, (thanks, by the way) the ankle is improving slowly.  Still have some swelling and an unreasonable amount of discomfort when walking on uneven ground but it's stable and all the pretty colors are gone!
