I admit to not being ready for winter.
If you live in suburbia, snow can be wonderful!
If you live on a farm, the snow and freezing temps
are not nearly so fantastic.
Hey, I still find snow beautiful, but last year,
each snow brought the fear we would loose our power
here, and that makes feeding and caring for the 40 plus
animals here difficult, and that is an understatement.
Still, even with power, the trudging up and down the hill,
the slips and spills, the endless bedding and stall cleaning, the
frozen water, and miserable animals, sick of the cold. . .well,
it is not much fun for anyone except the kids.
Children are oblivious to the trials and tribulations of
farm for the most part. When winter comes, thankfully, they
anticipate Christmas and Snow in a way I wish I still could!
So the rain over the last 24 hours has taken away almost the last of the
leaves. . .the hills looked skeletal today, and that is not the most flattering
of appearances, but I believe it makes us truly appreciate Spring when it comes back
around, so. . .
Bon Voyage until next year, leaves. . .I shall miss you all while you're gone ;)
