Woke up this morning to see heavy snow floating past the window. It's been snowing all day so I haven't yet taken the mail over to Sarah, I'll walk over tomorrow morning if it isn't snowing.
My first job of the morning is to feed the hens and take up fresh water to replace the lump of ice in their water bowl. I've cleared a space in the yard where I put down extra food for the wild birds; corn and scraps from the kitchen. The blackbird chases away the other birds but when she has had her fill the wagtail comes and defends the food. Once the wagtail has fed then the robins, chaffinches and other small birds get their chance. We had roast pork today so I've mixed the fat with scraps and cooked the potato peels for tomorrow's wild bird feast. The weather men seem to be saying that the weather is improving which is a good thing. I got all industrious today and did hoovering and ironing just in case we lose the electricity.
