After a week of real sub-zero weather, we were glad to wake up this morning to six inches of new snow and 20 degrees ABOVE zero! After every significant snow, we have a lot of cleaning up to do. Will took Hondo out on the plow truck to clear our driveway while I moved the vehicles around so he could clear their parking spots.<\/p>\n

While he plowed, I got out the scoop shovel and cleared the plow berm away from our walkway, the path to the chicken coop, and goat barn. Luckily it was light snow.<\/p>\n

Then Will swept the snow off of the Subaru while I fed the chickens and goats. Walking past the pen where our “motley crew” of Angus calves were that Will had bought at the sale barn I was happy to see how much weight they had put on.<\/p>\n

We’ve been feeding the birds and still haven’t had any but woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches. I’m always hoping for a cardinal or even some grosbeaks but so far, nothing “fancy.”<\/p>\n

I took a half ham out of the freezer last night and hope to be canning a big batch of ham as well as bean soup and maybe some split pea. It’s amazing at how far a big half ham will go! <\/p>\n

I’m thinking maybe I’d better seed another Hopi Pale Grey squash again. We’ve got lots of seeds for our little seed business but last time I made two “pumpkin” pies and they were gone in two days (with just the two of us). Life is good. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
