The new year has brought several days of bitter cold temperatures and it seems a constant dusting of snow to South Dakota. It’s been beautiful but almost too cold to get out and fully appreciate it all.  The kids have tried with all their might to stay out longer than 10 minutes to sled and play but it’s been days of running between heated homes and vehicles. Cabin fever has indeed settled in over this winter’s break.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The herd has stayed very close to the shelter belt through it all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the dogs find warmth among the straw bales if they’re out for very long.
