Winter Weary

I know I am not alone in saying I am ready for Spring. I was fooled into thinking we were going to have an easy winter this year, like last year. Other than Hurricane Sandy throwing a wrench into the machine we had fairly mild weather up into January. Then Old Man Winter rode in and was here to stay. Bitter cold, howling wind and mostly nuisance snows. We at least were spared when the storm
" Nemo " blew in. Just 8 inches that go instead of several feet that our neighbor states to the East got hit with.

So what's been going on ?
Not a heck of a lot!

Dog training has pretty much screeched to a halt. I just can't handle single digit temps and howling winds. I don't think it a bad thing to take a break .

Sheep are getting heavy with lambs due in April.
Hay put up in the barn has been rapid in it's descent out of loft and into mouths of the livestock.

One new upgrade has been a new Range for the kitchen. We had our old electric one that came with the house replaced with a gas range. I love using gas to cook with. We have a propane tank for our fireplace (that was converted to gas) so it was easy to run a line into the kitchen.

It looks like a Cadillac parked in a Ghetto but I love it none the less!


































We also moved the computer into our other spare  bedroom. We put a nice Futon in the bedroom we had the computer in. As you can see the change has been well received.
