Branding was cancelled today. There was well over half an inch of rain this morning, and it continued all day with a total this moment of 1.57”. That’s quite a bit for this high desert country!
Weather forecasts show a slight window tomorrow afternoon, and then cold, rainy, and cloudy for the rest of the week. Highs in the 40’s!
Yes, it snowed a bit today… the snow line is just up the mountain road a smidge. It is 36*, and I’m hoping my new little apple tree will be fine. It should be as it’s a zone 3 variety!
We all know that when it warms up again, the grass will be tall and lush, and we’ll be scrambling to make up for all the time we’ve lost!
So what’s new?
I didn’t cook all my food last night, I was fairly certain we wouldn’t be branding… though I may be scrambling tomorrow if the sky clears! Time will tell…
It was a bummer for Victoria and crew who came over the mountain to help… but what can ya do?

Snow and my rototiller in one shot…
Find me here!
one more reason to love working & living in the great outdoors, never a dull moment & learn to roll with the punches! Good luck with the branding-
