We built a little chicken coop!

Chilly morning

We spent a great weekend babysitting Josie, and are now going down to Mountain Lodge Farm for an event. We barely had time to put our bags down at home, but I wanted to take a moment to capture a little of the frigid magic happening in our front yard. I love our new home.
