Winter is definitely here this morning...I am freezing! Our Aga is being serviced again this morning - I am getting a bit worried about whether we will actually be able to cook a turkey this year - fingers crossed that it will get fixed this time. So it is cold and I would rather be under a quilt, but that said, I would not change the views in our garden this morning for anything. It looked like a winter wonderland. My wonderful hens are miraculously still laying despite the dusting of snow in their pen this morning - I am convinced the porridge is doing the trick and am wondering whether it would be prudent to serve them some warm carrots for lunch! A bullfinch also came to visit outside my office window this morning and stayed for ages!

  1. You've certainly captured today's weather in your photos!

    Well done your hens! I think hybrids do sometimes lay through their first winter - what troopers!!!! Our's are still laying, but not every day. They probably apreciate the porridge on a cold morning (as we do!). I put a max-min thermometer inside the ark, under the perches, and this morning the minimum was -4C !

    I hope Aga-man fixes things and gets your Christmas Cook-fest on the road!!!

  4. Those photos are so beautiful...and I am so jealous :) Suburban NJ looks nothing like that!

    I loved the bullfinch photo, though I am partial to cardinals myself.

    Thank you for sharing!

  5. I have never seen a bull finch Hannah, and now thanks to your beautiful picture I have. I loved all your wintery photos. You have captured the past week so very well. Hasn't it been cold! Dare I hope for a white Christmas? I have my fingers crossed!!! It's certainly been a frosty one so far!
