Whoa...please keep it all to yourself out there Stacy. It feels like springs coming here, though I know we'll get it hit again before it's all said and done.

Good weather to cuddle on the couch for Valentines day. Atleast the snow is more fun to look at than rain.

Just call him "Carhartt Man" He's not smiling any more- the belt broke on the snowblower half way thru the main driveway. Thought he had a spare- but nope.

It's getting windy out there- gusts to 30 mph.

This is what the tree in the first picture looks like in the summer- complete with bear family.

Hey, I've got that same egg price poster complete with the numbers, and I've got the same Charles chip tin can, and I've got a husband in brown Carhartt's just like yours!

Your husband looks like I just did. My problem is the drive friction wheel on our snowblower is slipping so anything not completely level ground makes it stop dead in its tracks. Plus the fact the snowblower is bigger then I am
I only wanted to get the end of one driveway and then do the entire smaller driveway before it all froze and was impossile. 2 hours later I got one driveway pretty clear. didnt get the end of the other and the trucks still buried under snwo in the drive. Came in with an anxiety attack Guess I can only do so much and the rest will have to wait patiently and not freeze up. If it does the husband will have me in the chicken house sleeping. He hates to hack away at those ice mounds at the driveway ends. And if the steps freeze we are stuck in and he's stuck out

Keep warm everyone

Hang on to these pictures so you can look at them when the sweat is dripping off your kneecaps next summer.

I've been home the last 2 days with a severe cold so I didn't get to enjoy the snow much. Here's my wife Stacey by the ram pasture.

Here she is next to the dog kennel. We've now determined that blue heelers don't need air either. She was completely covered over by drift.

I wish we'd had a real blizzard but at least it snowed.
