A Little Change in the Weather, Burrrrrrrr

It has been a long extremely rainy fall. There has not been a killing frost, my garden is still green. That is about to change, and I will see dead foliage. I took this photo out my front door, looking across the pasture/hay field toward the north. Tonight will bring maybe 8 to 10" of fresh snow. The forecast is to drop cold tomorrow night...12 degrees F. I hope that there is enough snow to insulate the plants and waterlines. I have the swimming pool pump circulating the water, so that there will not be freezing in the pipes. There will be winterizing needed to keep the farm warm, and I hope we don't have an electrical outage!  I will be wearing those warm winter boots!! Soon!!

Where is the Winter? Answer- coming to us on Sunday.

OK, right now it is sunny and unusually warm. I dried sheets outside today. However, if the forecast is correct, this will be gone Saturday night... and we will be into a normal winter weather pattern. It will be snowing and cold on Sunday.  All good things must come to an end. Time to get out my winter clothing and put the flannel sheets on the bed...and maybe a warmer blanket as well. This photo was taken last winter. It is my Hubby and his tractor, plowing the driveway. BTW, this Branson tractor is wonderful! We love it! It is compact in size, but big in horsepower.  It handles the hay mower and baler just great.  We purchased it used, a widow did not want it, or to make payments on it. The dealer repo'd it, and then we traded in our old Massey. The Branson is 2 years old with low use on it. Great for our small farm.
