Christmas was not white with snow this year, but we did get 10 inches starting at 3:00am on the morning of December 26. We are snowbound even 2 days later. Our road will be the last one that sees a snow plow or not at all. We were prepared for a big snow so we will just do daily tasks and enjoy the quiet time. My husband is keeping the farm related tasks done, takes a while wading snow with a ton of cloths and shoes on. So far I have not had to break out my Carhartt polar bibs and insulated boots, but I will if he needs help. This will be a good time to get my taxes organized before January 1.
We are supposed to get rain, freezing rain, then snow tonight so we will see what tomorrow looks like.
Christmas Day was really nice. We all met at our Daughter and Son-in-Laws house Christmas evening. We had too much food as usual, but that is what Christmas is about. I took about six pounds of fudge for all the grand kids to enjoy. All the grand kids were happy and had fun unwrapping their gifts and that is what is important.
Our pets, several cats and One Spoiled Rotten Dog do not like the snow. Snow does not phase the cattle, they just go about their business, eating hay, feed, hitting the water tanks and just milling about.
My seed catalogs are still coming in and I have found several new things I want to add to the garden this year. All those beautiful Sunflowers will be hard to resist, so several new varieties will find their way into the garden.
