What a mess!

During the night last night it started to snow. Now normally this isn’t such a big deal but we have had so much rain lately that it wasn’t soaking into the fields and that created a huge mess! Almost all the schools were cancelled today because if you weren’t having water running over your roads, you had so much snow over mud that it made it nearly impossible  with a car or a school bus.

The park in the town where I work

Daryl and I talked about the roads tonight and we don’t ever remember them being this bad. It was so bad (sounds like a joke doesn’t it?) anyway… it was so bad tonight that I literally met the road grader guy just driving back to town without working on the road. He tried to grade our road and it was next to impossible. I think he knew that he was making it worse. Daryl also said that he wasn’t going to scrape the yard because it’ll just make a huge mud pile. But I did let the chickens out and I just laughed at them. They were just squawking and making so much noise when I was by the coop that I decided to let them out. Well they weren’t so brave then. They just  stood in the doorway and tried to peck at the mud without actually going out into it.

Not so brave now are they

I also took a couple of pictures after work of the snow in our yard. This snow is so heavy, but still kind of pretty. I’m hoping that with all the heavy snow that we got, that it won’t break too many branches off the young grove.

Pretty heavy snow this time and it’s not so good for the trees

But the snow was on the North side of the tree and the old saying is that when the snow sticks to the north side of the tree, it’s supposed to be the last snow of the season. I guess time will tell if this is going to be true or not.

I laughed when I saw this picture. It looks like I took it’s a black and white photo

I think it’ll be awhile until I can get into the greenhouse
