SNOW

The weather is nuts! I am meant to be waitressing for Jake this afternoon at a private event but they are forecasting one to three inches of snow. Now I know that may not happen but really!!

This was yesterday – pigs sleeping in the sun and then last night I had to lock in Molly and the babies again because of rain and freezing winds and now snow?

This blog is really a farm journal and often a good gossip about the animals over a cup of coffee – usually we – the fellowship – are sharing really good information with each other, exchanging our short or long lifetimes worth of really useful experiences but this morning I am going to have a moan about the bloody weather! SNOW?

Should I risk it and drive all the way to the restaurant? Surely it will not SNOW! In mid April! In the mid West? Right on the cusp of the last frost date.

I tell you one thing – I am THIS close to fencing the hay fields. I don’t think this is going to be a good summer for bringing in hay! I am thinking I might graze them for a few months longer and buy some hay. That’s what I am thinking.

Apparently I do a lot of thinking.

At least snow is not cold.

Maybe I will take the truck. But that truck is such a gas guzzler. Ah well. Bloody weather.

  1. You go right ahead and moan away, I’ll join you. We just got rid of the 3″ from last week and now it’s been snowing here since about 2pm. This is totally nuts!

  2. I have been wondering if the Southern Hemisphere is following the pattern of the Northern as we, like you last year, have had a short “Indian Summer” and the weather has cooled off fast in the approach to winter, which I think will be a cold one… but no snow at least for us here on the coast.

  3. I remember driving to my art college interview, many years ago in April and it snowed.
    You can come and work for us (though it’s a bit far) – we are looking for a good waitress .

  4. I live about three hours from you and it snowed here too. I’m so over it. At least it melts right away. It looks like we are in for a rainy week.

  5. A friend told me about his weekend trip to Dallas, where they had a wild storm with fierce winds, flooding rain, and hail (some the size of a baseball!) More than 100 planes were damaged and put out of commission. Meanwhile we were in the Coachella valley., not for the festival, just visiting friends. We loved seeing snow on the mountains and desert flowers waving in the breeze.–a benefit of previous heavy rainfalls. Remember the forecaster who gave it up to become a clown for children’s parties, his sign-off, “Weather or not . . .”
