Blizzard


Sunday started with beautiful hoarfrost 


Temperatures went up to way above 0C

Then came flash freezing 


Power was out for hours




We hooked up the generator 


It became a blizzard



Lots of snow and wind



Huge snowbanks 



Lots of snow in the yard




Cold wind


The sheep are fine




The 7 chickens had 7 eggs as usual 



The milktruck was 4 hours late


Olga was supposed to go home on the 30th but getting stuck already in our yard




 Was a sign to stay one more day would be wise

Sledding and a campfire


Towards the pond

Room for everyone 




Some went to the house already to warm up



So cute



Visiting



With warm soup



Sausages and hotdogs 



Rien had made a nice fire



Enjoying the soup



Time for cuddles 



Elijah was getting cold but the soup helped 



More cuddles 



 More hotdogs
