Monday, February 1, 2016 Welcome February! And it’s still snowing! ❄️ I’m getting used to the new routines of trudging through the snow to get the chores done, it just takes a little longer than I’d like. I’ll start working on the February newsletter … Continued
Sunday, January 31, 2016 Well we got hammered again with more snow. I must make a mental note to put any future hay barns nearer to the barn when the animals live! The chicken coop seemed like it was in the next county! LOL … Continued
Saturday, January 30, 2016 Yes, it’s snowing and after looking at the traffic cams I’m really glad we cancelled our event today. Yesterday afternoon all the animals were acting a little strange.

Saturday, January 23, 2016 More snow for us today, but it sounds like our friends on the east coast are really getting hammered. It’s one thing to endure a storm huddled in your home, but when you have animals outside to … Continued
Thursday, January 21, 2016 I think we got about a foot of new snow yesterday. Of course it’s pretty but I’ll tell ya, it made navigation around here a bit difficult for us. Ed came home early to plow the … Continued
