Snow joke

 Braced for impact....after much anticipation we were expecting the big freeze, the coldest days and nights of winter....ever! So worried were we that for once prepared we bedded every living creature down in deep litters of fresh straw, installed extra heating in the aviaries and bought bottled water for the inevitable water shortage caused by frozen pipes.

 As it was it did get mightily cold, but not enough to worry brass monkeys.

 And the snow was disappointing to say the least.

 It did keep the boys occupied for a while though.
