Just think about spring….

….and how great all this moisture will be for the pastures.  But right now it is not a fun job bringing hay to cows in the far pastures.  We thought they had enough but underestimated their appetites in really cold and wet weather when they use more to stay warm.

By morning, the chores seemed much less difficult in the bright sun.  Farm manager Duane Ard plows the driveway so the oil truck can get in.  The cows and the farmers both need energy.

We had anywhere from a foot to just over two feet of snow in this latest storm.  Fortunately the ice missed us, but that will come with the daylight thawing and the re-freezing at night.
