Enough Snow Already!

Oh my Gosh, two blizzards in the same year would be bad enough. But in the same month! Winter on the homestead just took on a whole new meaning. Plowing…on foot…through two foot to three foot drifts to bring feed and water to our animals is getting to be old. I know they appreciate it but holy cow!

And then add to all this wonderful winter fun my hubby decides to take one huge slip on the ice and ruins his shoulder. Now mind you he is the Big Farm Hand on our homestead. He’s the brawn while I am the brains. lol

So now since he is the one arm bandit and guess who gets to carry water to the barns for 8 goats, roughly 20 rabbits and 21 chickens. And this is no little stroll. It’s a good hundred yards if it is a foot. Sigh.

I am anxiously awaiting spring. Bring on the mud!!! :)

But on a high note the goats are kidding and we have three lovely new kids to date on the farm. Sylvie is huge and I can’t believe she has not given birth yet. It will be nice having these little ones jumping around this spring. They bring us such entertainment. We have Farm TV. And I can’t think of anything more enjoyable to watch, except my grandchildren.

Wishing us all an early Spring.
