The gray days have continued and today there was only a brief hint of the sun behind the clouds as it rose above the tree tops.

There were a few snowflakes falling in the morning, but not enough to stick on the ground which means no shoveling snow, but I know that won’t last for long.

These sheep are able to graze in the pasture in January, even if the grass is brown from the freezing temperatures, as there is no snow yet. And with the temperature reaching 30 today, they might not need their real heavy wool coats. Although they will need it by the end of the 10 day forecast with the predicted below zero temperatures and even cooler wind chills.

It is a nice treat to have thirty degree days in January and without snow on the ground, although it seems more like November with all the gray, cloudy days.

The new year started out cloudy but there was no snow on the ground so it was a different start to the year.

It looks like the birds are flying the old year off into the sunset.

There was some light freezing rain this evening which caused some slippery roads as the ice coated various surfaces.

This ear of corn sticking out through the corn crib slats won’t be full of kernels as soon as the blue jays and squirrels spot it.

It is a good thing that Santa Claus doesn’t use longhorn cattle to pull his sleigh as they don’t appear to look very speedy plus they probably would have to be hitched in a single row so their horns didn’t poke each other.

Not needing to shovel snow this late into December is a very nice treat, but there is one downfall with the frost out of the ground since I had a mole that dug new tunnels and created mounds of dirt. Also some critter dug new burrows into my septic mound that I have to fill back in.
