and we're diggin' out


Another banner snow storm is on it's way... so they say... I hear it is raining down along the coast, but on the farm we do have the first sigs of it showing up. I'd say that winter is officially here, and if it was like last year, once the snow arrives, it's here until spring...so, I begin the evening with this shot from the deck and in the hours to come, hope to catch the progression of this snow..
By bedtime, there is a sizable amount, it will be interesting to see what the morning has in store...
And it was (is) impressive... enough so that the tractor has to make the first break outs...

and all previous pathways .. to the barn and the walk way, have to be cleared out once again....

Oh well... if we're going to get snow.. then let's just get it.. I "hate" storms that aren't enough to plow and yet, there's enough to be a "pain" in the neck. Not so sure if my dear hubby agrees as he does all the diggin out....
The tractor does good work!!!!

And now the truck can take over. The truck can do all the work, but with the tractor, Ed can pile the snow high and back, leaving room for the storms yet to come...
Now, as long as the wind doesn't pick up and drift the drive all back in again, we'll be in good shape...



for a while....
