Winter is Hard on Stuff and so are Cows

pipe-and-cows

The gated pipe had a hard time this year, with all the snow the cows really couldn’t see the pipe (no we don’t pick it up yearly, it is just too hard and there is just too much of it).

Still it was only two sticks and those can be ‘mended’.  We won’t have to replace them, just patch them.  Stay tuned so you can see what a ‘patched pipe’ looks like.  Nothing like patched jeans!  J

 

Wordless Wednesday

This was taken just before the real melt begin.  But I thought the sun on the dobies was amazing.

We are Melting!

Driving in the Wonders of Winter

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to work I go!

Snow and more snow

That is ice you see on the road.

The cows even think it is cold.

The Weather Outside is Frightful

The wind blew in a horrible cold snap….40 degrees at the beginning of the day, then a rapid drop to 16, with lots of wind and some snow.

brrrrrrrr

chilled

This morning, when I went to do the chores, it was 7 degrees. Then when I went to work it was 6 degrees.  Snow is predicated for this afternoon 5-6 inches by nightfall.

Ugh!  I drove in on ice and it looks like I will be driving home on ice and in snow!

Some of you have it worse though, so I shall not complain (too much).

 

 

 

Terry Got to Drive a Snow Plow

Our daughter Kimberly works for CDOT.  In putting together a snow plow rodeo Kimberly asked if her Dad could come drive one of the snow plows.  Terry really found the obstacle course a great challenge and fun.
