Dreaming of Summer?

As I went about morning outside chores I couldn't help indulging in a bit of summer dreaming....

I coaxed the chickens out of the coop with the lure of fresh scraps.  You can see Phoenix is up and about now...but definitely has touches of frost bite.  

I dropped compost in the lasagna bed in the garden. The moose have been out here. Glad to do my part to keep them fed. 

It really IS beautiful here in the winter. It isn't my favorite time of year, but it is the prettiest time of year. 

Oops - good thing this is here to keep the mosquitoes at bay. LOL 

Summer will come again. 

It may be cold outside - but it's warm inside. See the smoke from our wood stove? It HAS warmed up to 10* today....much better than -18*.  We also gained about 4 min of sun today....Those pale areas on the corners of the house - frost.
