winter is here





These  two Pic's I couldn't resist taking yesterday morning it was so lovely with the haw frost on everything.

 
 
These next three pic's show you one of the project we managed to get done this year, we have had a water line put in from the house to the barn, so there is no hauling water down the the barn this winter. It is so nice we have two all year round drinkers in the three paddocks, one of the drinkers is a double and we have put it through the fence so it will serve two groups. We also had two stand pipes put in, one in the barn and one in the paddock, I am so delighted every time I go to put water in the barn drinkers, it is so easy to hook up the hose pipe and fill them.
The pipe line itself took some digging as the house is on a rocky hill and so what should have been a couple of day job ended up being a 4 day job and a little costly too, but well worth every penny.

This is our girls eating breakfast alfreco, we give them hay inside too but until we have little ones they get fed outside too. 
 

I hope you all have a Happy new year
