Winter is logging time. All the wood for the next year needs to be out of the woods before sugaring season. Snow storms quickly slow progress down in the woods as trails need to be bucketed out with the tractor, trees need to be shoveled out so that stumps are cut flush with the ground, and limbing branches with the chainsaw in thigh deep snow makes for long days. 
Inside the barn, the ewes are getting bigger and bigger and we are eagerly awaiting our first lamb of the season. Cold temperatures make for a harsh entry into the new world and watch is kept around the clock (including each night at 130am) to check on the pregnant ewes. We will post pictures as soon as we get our first arrival!
