Weird. Very cold and most unsettling to have snow this early. Though I have heard tell of it snowing on a Halloween before. I had not even shaken the spiders out of my winter work coat yet. 
Needless to say I did not get the lawns mowen yesterday.
For those of you who very sensibly don’t have Instagram – here is Boo and Poo-Bum Piglet yesterday while it was snowing outside.
The cows were less than thrilled.
Though the ducks were happiness filled. The snow melted fast on the warm ground. A perfect duck day.
Today will be sunny I think. Let’s check the weather forecast.
I wish I could close my eyes for just another tiny sleep.
But today’s list is long.

We are expecting big rain today, and I think there are chances of snow in the panhandle area of our state. That’s very unheard of for us. I don’t think farm folks are ever ready for the snow. There is always so much to do to winterize things. Perhaps this weekend you’ll manage that mowing!
I know! And I have not even bought in any straw yet!
yes, it’s coming here very soon too, the two piggies are so snug in the house )
This little pig surely is the lucky one.
Yes!
Perhaps it’s something linked to the hurricane and will pass. We are having a heatwave here – 24ºC. Back to 15º on Monday…
I hope we get a heatwave / I love the last summer days.
It’s due to pour with rain all day tomorrow!
Are you in London?
Yes.
There is very strange things happening weatherwise around the world, and not good things either, but snow in October is most unreasonable as well as unseasonable …At least the grass will not grow whilst its snowing. ! I do so love the picture of Boo and Poo..all nicely tucked in away from the cold, keeping those baby trotters nice and warm Your guests this weekend will need their warm winter knickers….and it might be time for the clown suit
love BG
I need a new clown suit again/ my last one is in shreds / I knew I should have bought one in the summer when they were cheaper
Aye, lol; failure to listen to those stray “maybe you should…” thoughts often end with a nip to the nether-region at some point, hey?; )
Whoa! Snow already! Yikes! We’ve had a bit of a cold snap here, but will get higher temps in the 60s and 70s in the next couple of weeks, thank goodness! Looks like the ducks can wander about whenever they please during the day, right? Any trouble getting them back in at night? We got 10 Muscovies this summer and they have to be herded back into their enclosure each night. And they are huge compared to the khaki campbells and cayuga ducks we had before. I mean huge! And besides that, they fly……like onto the porch and roof and such. My John likes them, but I think I prefer our previous ones. They haven’t started laying yet, so I may change my mind when that happens. Also, the ones we had last year, that were taken by predators, were really good mothers, so we may be able to raise and sell some ducklings next year, fingers crossed.
Huh. Yes. These ones are all over the place all day- in the evening they go to their bedroom in the barn. ( I put night food there for them ) – when it is dark I very very quietly close their gate and they lay their eggs early mornings and then leave the barn by creeping under the gate. Short answer is yes. If I leave it until dusk – they put themselves to bed every night.
It is way too early for snow. Especially since we had such a warm autumn until just a few days ago. I hope this isn’t an omen for a bad winter.
That was my first thought. I live in fear of winter.
People ask why we want to move back to the UK. There are many reasons but a big one is winter can be 6 months long! We’ve had snow in September all the way through the end of May. No thank you! Though it does make for pretty pics.
But it is only pretty on the first day. We actually don’t get a lot of snow- more that deep cold.
So you are going back to the UK soon?
I don’t like this snow when I still have a garden growing!!! We had heavy snow for a couple of hours, but of course it all melted when it hit the ground!
Awww – Nanny Boo and Piggy Poo soooo cute together!!
They are cute aren’t they!
Boo Nanny looks like he is in hog heaven!
He is besotted.
snow? good grief. The little video does my heart good…..such a dear dog and sweet piglet!
They make a very cute pair. Boo loves his babies.
They are saying snow is possible this weekend but its still to warm yet during the day, but it could snow at night, its dipping down very cold indeed at the moment. A tiny nap should be fit in.. take care.
A tiny nap would be lovely
Boo is the best nanny ever!
He is.
Yes, snow here too in South Africa – in summer!! BUT only in Cape and Natal (both coastal) provinces. Inland we are having wild thunder and hail storms and rain 😀 that video of Poo Bum Piglet and Boo is so sweet. Laura
Snowing here too in South Africa but only in Cape and Natal provinces – both coastal. Inland we are having huge thunder and hail storms and rain 😁 that video of Boo and Poo Bum Piglet is just so sweet. Laura
Coastal snow makes no sense to me
Awww, Nanny Boo and Piglet doing a little mutual appreciation.
We’ve had rain at last! Several hours of crashing and banging and white flashes lighting up the sky, just what we needed on one of our early-to-bed day shifts, but so welcome. A little more in the pipeline, but at least no tornadoes like they had further south in Queenslan. Supercell storms that flattened entire communities who had no warning and no experience of it… Tell me global warming and climate change doesn’t exist, or try telling Florida…
Supercell storms looming up with no warning – sounds awful
There was a woman stuck in her car with her baby and grandmother when the supercell came over. The wind was blowing horizontally, with golfball sized hailstones. It broke the windows in her car, and she sheltered them with her body. She was covered in enormous bruises, and I think she was lucky it only lasted 20 minutes. What disgusts me most is that when it was over and she was flagging down passing cars for help, they were driving past and taking photos. It was on Facebook before she reached hospital…
Oh no. The poor woman. And she was a hero.
