huggable snowflake

a snowflake that looks like warm wool! it is funny how warm 32 degrees feels after 15. (almost twice as warm! ha!) But actually it is part of a "still life" taken on the garbage can lid. This garbage can holds the grain for the chickens and the elderly mule. When you rattle this lid, you stir up mule whinnies (which sound like a cross between a hee haw and a horses neigh) and chicken clucking and "brrruuuuiiiing" (the sound a chicken makes when it is calling for food)

If I were feeling right bored and a tad bit cruel, I could go out and rattle the lid just for fun.
