Two days of WIND!
And more WIND!
And cold!
BRRRR!
But no rain or snow here on the farm, which all of us say
YAY!
Mom says: “Look, the mountains are white! YAY! White is good!”
Let it stay in the mountains, please.
We like plain ol’ dirt!
WAIT!!!
The SNOW CAME!!!
Oh! Yes! It DID!!!

From my archives —-but you get the picture
The wind was so strong it snatched at the cats’ fur and flattened Boo’s fur.

It was miserable —whipping the smoke from the woodstove chimney into tatters

No rain came—not even wind-blown rain, but clouds WERE heavy in the mountains.

Wind fling the weeds everywhere

Wind! Making the leaves dance
Miserably hard to work in.
So —- we didn’t 🙂

In between our storms, I’ve been working in the yard. Which is a tad HUGE
The trees let down their leaves right in the yard, the driveway, the sheds — a thick amount of leaves.
But the work was brightened with birdsong and random bits of sunlight.
I even got hot enough to wear shorts and no coat!
YAY!!!

Gradually removing the misty late-winter rain, leaving our world cold, frosty, and perfect!
Then the wind brought in more clouds—clouds that feel and smell like snow.
Two more weeks of February —- getting closer and closer to SPRING!!!
YAY!

We’ve had days in the 50s for a spell, but these two winter weather systems have brought us back down where we belong for this time of year.
Firewood is such a warm comfort!

Then on Friday —- we woke up toooooooo!
This is from my archives! It shows what Friday looked like anyway.
RAIN!!! All day Rain.
And snow in the mountains!
OH! THE JOY!!!

Thursday, we had to run! YIKES!
Because there was BIG stuff in the yard!
RUN!!!
HIDE!
RUN!!

All our snow is gone. Even those places where the sun doesn’t shine.
Of an evening, we often get a cold wind that flips your hair all around, but in the morning, it’s gone.
Our sun is warming the Earth more and more. The afternoon’s getting up to 63* or even better.
It’s a tad scary — we need water. Which means we need snow. They are saying two storms are heading into our mountain ranges. We sure hope so.
We sure hope so.

Yep!
Back he (we) go!
I love seeing and smelling the fresh turned soil.
Farming Season has begun!

They seem to face each day as though the day will bring nothing but delight!
I lend them my heart! Their song is so beautiful!
