February brings the rain...

February brings the rain, thaws the frozen lake again

This was a lovely sketch to work with although it took me a few goes to get it right, thank goodness it was digital and not paper I was working with!  Thank you for the lovely sketch Jennie. 

And a little taste of what the view from my kitchen window is likely to be next week and for the coming weeks.  Our calves arrived today and have settled into their shed including nosying out the window.

Through my kitchen window in February

There was a fine drizzle falling outside when I took this photo, it's actually a bit warmer today a high of 4C!  It made a surprising difference to the temperature inside the house though. 

It was a different picture on Tuesday when we had snow and a wind which meant that it gathered on the window ledges.  More snow is forecast for tomorrow, but hopefully only a little.
