The dark has fallen some time ago. The night sky looks down at the white earth beneath it. It seems proud of itself somehow for the sheets of snow it let loose earlier. The snow from the first winter storm has finally arrived like a late Christmas present. We have waited so long this year…

The grey outside continues. You can now smell the unfallen snow. The farm has grown into it’s winter quiet. The bleakness has only strengthened outside. Inside, the kitchen is a wreck. No idea what will be for dinner tonight.
