So in typical Nova Scotian style, we've got a snow day today!
That means I'm trapped at home with three little boys and a whole lotta energy...
And there's still the usual morning chores to do.
#WalkWithMe into the blowing snow as I greet the chickens for the day.
Taking in the snowy scenery with a panoramic shot of the view from my front lawn
Up the back hill to the snow covered coop!
I'm bringing up this box of ashes from the woodstove, for the chickens to have a dust bath in today. I've added some garden sulphur powder to help kill any lice. Very effective way to control external parasites on chickens without harmful chemicals!

"Why you all up in ma face when I'm getting my feed on??"
Back down the hill, I hide out under the branches of a big tree for a minute to appreciate the beauty of this chilly day a moment longer, enjoying the tranquility of the falling snow
The trunk of the tree I'm standing by, you can see the freezing oozing sap from where we cut the bottom branches...
Back inside with the boys, they've already got the music going!
After I thaw myself out a little it's time for...
A dance party!!!

Our jambox makes pretty lightshows for fun selfies :)
I hope you enjoyed my walk today. I have to head back out there now to check on the chickies again, the boys are still over there dancing their little butts off!!
Much love,
@amymya
tip!
Tip... of the hat to you too :)
Hope you had a nice time
We did! Thank you!
Hey! I never thought of doing that with ashes! What a great idea. Thanks! The snow is beautiful. We have had barely any this year.
I have heard that some places have had less snow than usual this year, that's too bad! The boys certainly enjoyed sledding down our big hill today :)
Yeah the ashes is a cool tip, very useful for the chickens and fun for them too :)
looks like fun! enjoy the day spent together! kids grow so fast
So true! Cant believe how fast the babies are growing <3
The jambox almost gave me epilepsy haha It was far out haha
It's very fun and strobey xD
Nice idea for the ashes. I would never have thought of that. Dance party sounds like fun. Perhaps there will be school tomorrow...
It was super fun! There might not be school tomorrow, in which case we'll do it all over again :)
