When we woke up this morning it was snowing and the ground had a skiff of snow on it. Over the course of the morning it melted. So yay! We could work outside this afternoon on filling a raised bed. Then the sky got really dark and we could see the snowing coming towards off, […]

Nothing much was happening for a couple of months while we waited for the snow to melt. We have a ton of work planned for the garden. And we thought about finding some yard minions but decided we would simply give up that plan and just do everything ourselves. So while we waited for the […]

We are used to seeing turkeys fly past the windows, though it is still a bit startling because they are so big! But there was drama today and we almost missed it. Right after Dan saw the flurry of feathers on the fence he saw an adult Golden Eagle flying west but alas with empty […]

Had a cow moose and her calf visit today. Cool! Baby has a bunch of snow on his/her forehead. Cute! Pretty deep snow but it’s going to get deeper. The weather forecast is for six inches to a foot of snow starting tonight. I guess we need to move some more pellets to the porch […]

We are getting a real winter this year. We just had over a week of low temperatures below zero and high temperatures in the single digits. Last night it started warming up and it was a balmy 25F this morning when we got up to see a good six inches of snow had fallen. This […]

It is amazing what warmer weather does to snow. Earlier this morning we were completely fogged in due to the very high levels of humidity in the air caused by the melting snow. Pea soup!! It finally lifted enough to be able to see the trees to the east and the mountain beyond. It’s all […]

Today was a good day to stay inside and take it easy. It snowed all morning long but since it’s also slightly above freezing temperatures the snow didn’t amount to anything except the beauty of falling snowflakes. Love the color of this yarn and I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to go about blocking […]

It’s still snowing lightly this morning and supposed to keep doing that very thing for the next few hours, then clear up and no doubt start melting all this lovely snow. Can’t see any mountains at the moment, but it comes and goes as the snowfall gets lighter or heavy. The snowplows […]

It is a winter snow advisory (for those people who never actually look out the window) but not a storm. We are supposed to get three to five inches accumulation. And because this is the first real snow I’m making cinnamon rolls. They are sitting next to the oven raising, and a batch of sweet […]
