Meet the new puppy!

I thought you all might enjoy an introduction to my parent's new puppy, Storm. She's an Australian shepherd - almost 12 weeks old.

The blizzard at Chestnut Creek Farm

Since Maryland has experience record snowfall this year (more than Buffalo, Maine, and all the normal record makers), I thought it warranted some pics. My parent's farm, where I'm living this year, is about 65 acres, located in Westminster. I don't know the official accumulations - but once both blizzards passed through we were around 40".

Poor Remi could only go where we had cleared a path. It meant it was harder for him to run off, though... hehe

A lot of snow had accumulated on one side of our roof, because there were strong winds, you can see at the top of the kitchen window all the snow!

Here's the lane after the second round of snow and with all drifts created by the wind. You can see my mom at the very end.

The veggie garden and the chicken coop behind it.

A winter wonderland at my parent's farm

I wanted to share with you some beautiful photos my dad took of their farm, Chestnut Creek Farm, in Maryland this weekend. We got several inches of snow on Saturday - and the result was quite pretty!

In the woods beside the back fields.

This is to the side/front of the house

A tree my dad keeps asking me to do a drawing of for him - a shag bark hickory

Remember when Remi was just a little puppy? - now he's a big puppy!

Pretty no?
