Snow on the Barn

Snow is such a treat here, and we got half an inch last night. Felix planned ahead to give himself a snow day and did all of today's schoolwork yesterday. So smart. Giles headed out with the camera this morning and got some lovely snowy photos. This is our very old barn which my father put together thirty years ago out of the original tin roof of the schoolhouse. In its heydey it housed a large milk cow named Candy, a family of Mexican burros, and assorted banty hens. Now it only shelters the tractor which the Composer uses for bushhogging, but it still lends quite an atmosphere to the pasture, especially in the snow.
