Here on the Goat Milk Stuff farm, we got a lot of snow this winter. A couple of months ago, it was particularly nasty.

There were 3-4 inches of snow that had frozen completely solid, a sheet of ice on top making it almost impossible to walk anywhere. Fortunately, the next day it snowed again, so we had another inch of snow on top for traction.

With the snow frozen solid, you could walk on top without breaking through. And as the kids discovered, you could ride your bikes without breaking through! They found this particularly handy when Mom sent them to do their farm chores. A chance to ride their bike to get the eggs? They weren’t going to pass that up!

Not only did they have fun riding their bikes to get the eggs, they didn’t break a single egg!
