Fiddle farting around on the farm.

Thought for today: There's no such thing as woman's work on a farm. There's just work.

Yup, and every farm offers a 'free' gym membership, guaranteed to make every muscle sore.

I sympathize with you. I “was” in the same boat. We received about 6” of snow (1” of moisture) after Thanksgiving. About an 1”/week for 3 weeks. Then, a real nice 2” rain that ran off because of soil saturation. 1 pond is full & the other is within 3’ of running over. My creek is flowing again. Last Summer/Fall, I swore I would not complain about mud ever. I’m being kept out of the fields because of the wet conditions. Ordinarily it would be a curse, but I wish the same for you. No harm intended.

2 years ago, when the hard freeze hit, I swore I wouldn't cuss the summer heat. That lasted for 1 summer, LOL!

Neighbor volunteers at the food pantry, she gave me these oversized carrots, to large and hard for the hungry poor folks and the cows just splt them out, guess you gotta be real hungry to eat them, LOL

Maybe you need to dice them up for those poor girls. They probably don't know what they are and not familiar with the taste.

I did take the tree limb lopper and cut a few into 1in chunks, they still spit them out.

We got a trace of rain early this morning.

We're expecting 40 to 50mph winds this evening till tomorrow, under a Red Flag warning for wildfires.

It's snowing right now. Temp is 37 so no accumulation, but suppose to get colder as time goes on. By next weekend I heard something about 12 deg!

I put out two big round bales of brome in case we did get enough snow to cover the ground. It was muddy yesterday but I figured it'd be worse today.

Rain/snow mix now. High of 45 on Thursday & 19 on Friday. The temperature will drop to the single digits by Sunday.
I think my mud will harden up.

Those Florida boys coming up here this weekend to play football will get a rude awakening!!!!

The wind is stupid crazy here, and the red flag warning now has been extended till Friday with wind gusts up to 48mph till Friday.

Since yesterday we've gotten about 8" of very wet snow. Ended this morning. 28 deg.

Heavy sea fog this morning, any type of moisture and I'll take it.

I wrote down and recorded a trace of rain for today, about 3 drops in the gauge... Several hours of heavy fog, enough to leave a small puddle in the skid bucket.

This is what we have coming in this weekend. Trade you for some sea fog.

I went to the farm yesterday to check the automatic waterer, hay and check critters. I pulled up to the gate but walked to the barn. Snow was probably 10" when I stepped out, but where the cows had been walking was extremely muddy. Today and the next 4/5 days will solve that problem Had to put the truck in 4 wheel drive to back out when I left.

70* yesterday, cold hit us today, and the next 3 days with the wind chill it will be colder here that Hartford, CT or Albany, NY. Thursday can't get here quick enough.

I hope the bees are ok? Hogs may be shivering too.

I'm sure the bees will be fine. They were really active til today. The bees probably consumed 4 gallons of water just at the house since Tuesday. I have extra buckets out just for them.
