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!

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. ;)

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.

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.
