Its been a dry year... to say the least. With over 75% of the country in drought conditions, its hard to complain about a little snow, or even a lot of snow!
So when it started coming down a couple weeks ago we bundled up, went outside and did a little dance. Afterall, snow is moisture and the earth rejoiced. But then it kept coming, and coming, and coming! With a day in between the two biggest storms, the guys had just enough time to push their way through the drifts to get big ol Bertha down the road.
As with every time we have severe weather, our cattle are on the forefront of our minds. But when we have little babies hitting the ground every day, 12 inches of snow makes matters even worse. Luckily, cows are notorious for hiding their babies out of sight and out of the wind so 9 times out of 10 the little babies wake up after the storm dry and warm and ready to go sledding!
And, with the passing of every storm, there is always the promise of yet another day. Another sunrise, another sunset, another day to give Thanks.
