This photo makes it look like my windmill is entirely buried. It isn’t. We did have 8″ though! Lots of cow work happening today in the neighborhood, but I’m headed to the warm library.

Whippersnapper
Wow. A good seven inches of powdery snow out there today! Nothing like fresh snow to play in! Lucas and Eden were having a blast. That young little whippersnapper was too fast for Lucas. Dally just yells and demands that THEY STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS RIGHT NOW!!!! But they never listen. Ah, just lighten up, Dally. …
Looking for a Calendar Shot
Last Monday, we cancelled our preg testing because of weather. It rained and was cold… and we just decided it wasn’t worth being wet and miserable. Well, today was the ‘replacement day’ and when the rain started pouring down last night, we began to wonder if we would be doing it today as well. A…
Finally
Our first snowfall here at the place… It’s well past time… and it’s still very easy to appreciate the beauty it brings. And, as usual, it’s a shock that four miles down the road, with the slight drop in elevation, the snow runs out. Look closely and you’ll see the snowline around the edge of…
Mother’s Day
Still no chicks… rats! I thought it would be perfect if they arrived on Mother’s Day! We did get snow… not much, but there’s plenty of wet slush in the rest of the Cowboy State. Here, it really started just up the road… My lilacs may feel this storm… I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s…
We Are Here
There is a heaviness, no, a solemnity, about new fallen snow. Glaringly white, made tolerable by squinting even with sunglasses, it lays quietly across fields and fences. Character lines around my eyes can be blamed on this brilliance, more exist now than ever before. The exurberant sense of new exploration fights against the sobering blanket. …
Minute Movie: “Snow Day”
We woke up to 4″ or 5″ of pretty white snow… and a few more inches by 10 am, and a couple more by noon… When I ventured out to haul more water and feed to my coop ensconced chickens… my yardstick read anywhere from 10″-16″. The girls were happy to have me replenish their…
Reward
Mother Nature had to remind us again that it is FEBRUARY. Three inches of fresh snow this morning… nice, wet, springtime-like snow… perfect for snowballs! I may or may not have thrown some… At least the 50˚ weather this past week melted pretty much ALL of the old snow, so there’s no ice underneath. Brandon…
Counting
Snow! Gobs of it! Well, not New York style, but a good little storm this afternoon and evening. The kind where you feel you’ve transported to the Enterprise right before it goes into warp speed… which I would have taken a photo of but I preferred to *stop* my “shuttlecraft” before pulling out the camera. …
How Exciting!
First it rained, then it snowed… but only a measly 3″… so… it’s not so bad! It was 14˚ this morning though. Pretty brisk. There’s nothing like a grey, cold day with company coming to get some work done around the house. I admit it. My mother would be disappointed in me… I live in…
Just Waitin’
Spring storms… gotta love ’em… when this leaves, the grass will shoot up! Before this hit, I spent some time with my bees, removing more of the cross combing. While some beekeepers have suggested I continue into the depths of the hive to see if my queen is laying… I still haven’t made it that…
