Drizzle, Drizzle

We woke today to a freezing drizzle and cold gray skies. The outdoor critters are none too interested in being outside. The calves peer out from the doorway of the shed when I come out to feed them breakfast, but can only be coaxed out for the 30 seconds it takes to greet me at the gate and hop, skip, jump to the feed trough. The chickens have spent no more than a few minutes in the last few days outside, but the turkeys are a bit more intrepid. Or else Thomas and Essie feel required to make sure that drama queen Ginny doesn't get lost outside in the snow by herself.
