Snowbound
December 11th, 2014 · No Comments · Posted in farming
A December nor’easter has been parked over our area for the better part of the week, upending our autumn routine. We weren’t quite ready for full-on winter, meaning extra work keeping the animals fed and watered and the fire in the wood stove burning.
At times like this–essentially a whiteout–there’s little else to do but curl up with a good book, or, more likely, make bowl of popcorn and turn on the DVD player.
Occasionally, I climb into my winter gear and make tracks in the driveway with our four-wheel-drive pickup. With maybe five inches of heavy, wet new snow, we weren’t quite ready to call for plow. But we’re nearing that point where the truck planes rather than drives through the snow.
Sure wish I’d switched over to the studded tires already.
