More SNOW!!!

In the last two days we have gotten about 6 or 7 inches of snow!! It started snowing and just didn't seem to stop for a full day!!! It was so pretty coming down and now the ground & trees are covered! Once again, I have fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book... While we were out cleaning pens last night Tom pointed to something, "What's that?" he said pointing to a brown thing sticking out of the snow. Turns out it was only a stick... but while I was bent over to look... he kicked the tree that I was under... you guessed it... I got covered with snow!!! It went down my collar and I stood up screaming!! Oh, Tom was getting quite a laugh out of it though!! I will pay him back one day! I have made a mental note to not fall for that one again this year!! However, that's not likely to happen and I am sure I will be covered again and again...

We have started training the teams with the four wheeler. Only going two miles, but with this snow we might be able to start going more!! Tom went out with the sno-go last night and dragged the trails so we can run the dogs this weekend and bump them up to 4 miles! Won't be long and we will be running the full 6 mile loop!! The dogs are so ready to get going! It is so fun to see how excited they get when we start getting the four wheeler ready and then even more excited when the harnesses are brought out of the house!!!

In other news, we have puchased a whole trailer load of straw to get us thru the next couple of years!! We got 130 bales!!! That should last us and a few of our friends for the next couple of winters. Today or tomorrow we have to unload it from the trailer and get it into a storage building. That will be lots of fun!!

We are still in the process of remodeling the living room... if you can call it that. We took the paneling off the walls to find some of the sheetrock in great shape and some of it textured!! So, we have sanded the texture off and will cover those areas with a light coat of mud before we prime the walls. Still have to get lots of it done before we can all this project complete!!

Not sure what we are going to do this afternoon, but we have lots of projects to work on! We were suppose to head to the property today and rent a backhoe/frontend loader for moving some dirt to make the driveway passable this winter. Well, it seems we are about a week late in doing this with all of the snow because the rental place cancelled all deliveries of heavy equipment today!! The good news is that we know we can rent equipment to do it outselves much cheaper and getting someone else to come in and do it for us!!!

Well, better get going and get something done before the day is gone!!
