WOW, how about that snow? It just kept coming and coming. It reminded me of the poem by John Greenleaf W.[I think] Who's woods are these?
I think I know,
His house is in the village though,
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
Got up this morning to a thick blanket of pristine whiteness.
We measured 11 inches on the table on the back deck. Hubby was called to go in to work at 2: 30 am but he told dispatch that we had 10 inches of the stuff and the roads were not plowed. They called back and
told him to wait till noon to come in. That was just fine with him. His truck was parked at the top of the hill, that would have been a long cold walk, trudging up hill in 10 inches of snow at 2:30 am. After he left for work I started shoveling and kept it up for a couple hours till he came home and took over. It's now dusk and it's all cleaned off, ready for the cold night to settle in. Had our leftover birthday pizza and apple cake for supper, hatches battened down, cat fed and hopefully we're settled in.....till dispatch calls again.
Farmgirl....don't know if this is still good, found it in a 2004 magazine. Check out www.kbhilltopstables.com it would interest you. It's a video monitoring system for animal lovers to share in the wonder of birth. I intended to check it out before I got on here but didn't get it done.
Don't forget to change your clocks back tonight.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes for us both.
Passing the time...

So good to see you on here again! Wow! Keep up the good work! We woke up to maybe 2 1/2 inches. It is nice NOT to have all that stuff that you have! Ick! Snow, what a dirty word! Better you than me!!
That link still works. I checked it out, and there is a mare in the stall on the monitor. It is like watching grass grow, though.
Robert Frost, dear,it was Robert Frost.
"My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year."
Yes, snow is a "four letter" word to me. I don't go anywhere when it snows. I don't need anything that bad. :)
Your welcome. Hope you both had a good one!
