Someone usually says this time of the year that if you live in Iowa and don’t like the weather just wait ten minutes and see what it’s like then. Well that statement couldn’t have been a more accurate today! I had heard that west of us was getting some snow and it was coming east. So it wasn’t a shock that it started to snow, but Holy Cow did it snow!
And this is when the snow was stopping!
And with Daryl gone for a couple of days I’m on chore duty. Of course I didn’t have them done so I thought I’d better get out there and get it done before it got worse. Now the smart thing to do would have been to check the radar, but I didn’t quite think of that at the time. I quick went down into the cellar and mixed up Scarlet’s milk and grabbed Daryl’s boots and made my way to the barn. Even though I couldn’t find any good farm boots this weekend, Daryl’s boots were working pretty good. He said that I reminded him of Catski someone when I wore them last night … (I’m thinking it wasn’t a compliment) they still got the job done! Now everyone was confused when I showed up in the barn. Reno was all excited and Scarlet just looked at me. With Kyle home these past months, he’s been taking on the chore duty, but now that he’s gone, William is back at college, and Daryl is gone for a week for work – I guess they’ll have to just be satisfied with me. Come to think of it, I think No Ears looked like she was having an apple craving . It’s a good thing that I planned on hitting the grocery store tomorrow! So the crazy snow last about 10 minutes, but in that 10 minutes you could hardly see walking through the yard. I grabbed my camera but I don’t think it does it justice how much it was snowing and blowing. And once it was over the sun was shining – Crazy! I also took a picture of our road where it’s been washing out. Our gravel roads for some reason are lower than the ditches so when the snow melts it causes all kind of trouble. This is the spot where you really have to slow down or man you’ll be in trouble!
So what’s on my agenda tonight with such a quiet house? Well I do have Little Kitty in the house and I’m guessing he’s happy he’s not outside. I never knew that cats could smile before we had Little Kitty. 
Even Reno got inside tonight, don’t tell Daryl! Sometimes Daryl thinks I can’t get Reno’s feet clean enough to stay inside but I wiped them down and he’s been sleeping on his blanket ever since. He even knows that if he got off his blanket the whole gig is over.
The picture of the day is one that I snapped when I was trying to catch how much it was snowing tonight. This is a picture of our old grove behind our house.
