Ohio winter poem

From an ANONYMOUS donor on the Internet

"A Winter Poem"


It's winter here in Ohio, the gentle breezes blow;


Seventy miles an hour, at five degrees below!


OH, how I love Ohio!!!,


When the snow's up to your butt;


You take a breath of Winter's crisp air,


Only to have your nostrils freeze shut!


Yes, the weather here is Wonderful,


So, I guess I'll hang around,


I could never leave Ohio!!!


Cuz, if you could see right now,


I'm FROZEN TO THE GROUND!!!

On their way

It's snowing like crazy....yet, AGAIN!!! What a winter! We're having here in NE Ohio, it's not unusual to have snow and cold temps BUT this year it started much earlier with unusually cold temps with more frequent storms. This year takes the cake. :- \ This year it feels more like Maine rather than Ohio.

But even with the cold temps and snow....life goes on.

We've just returned home from presenting a couple of French Angora does to their new owners. They'll be their newest additions to Jill's (Frosty Acres, Williamston, MI) Angora rabbit herd. The family arrived today just before the snows began to fly.
Frosty Acres appears to be a cozy farmstead.
Frosty Acres concentrates on fiber animals, llama's, alpacas, BFL sheep, angora goats and angora rabbits (English and German's), as well as Jersey Woolies and Dutch rabbits. They also raise chickens and pigs.
The newest fuzzy family members, Colleen and Deirdre , will join the angora herd of English, and German Angora's. Colleen and Deirdre will help to bring some exciting color to the German's of Frosty Acres fiber herd.
An excellent choice of sheep--Blue Faced Leicesters! (What ya think Lisa! Ever see this breed of sheep? ;- ) )
And I must say these are some of the finest Angora Goats I've ever seen!!! Clean coats with really good clear colors!
And don't forget the big guns of the wool crew.......the llama's & alpaca!!!
A little spinning, anyone??? :- D

It was a pleasure meeting this young family!!! Best of luck guys!!!!!!

And safe trip home!!!!!!!!!
