Misty Morning

I woke to a beautifully misty morning with touches of frozen mist on the tree branches. The soil warmed up yesterday and the cold night air created perfect conditions for fog. Unfortunately we have to drive in this today.
We have really been enjoying the warmer-than-usual days this week. The more adventurous chickens finally ventured out into their pasture yesterday when the snow melted enough for them. Elvis and some of the hens spent the day scratching and foraging in their pasture. Every so often the younger hens would start sprinting around the muddy yard, flapping their wings and whooping it up. I’m hoping it stays warm for a while longer. It makes me feel like spring is right around the corner.
