It has started getting colder and that means getting ready for the snow to fall. I love the snow that I'm so hoping will dump on us this year, but don't care too much for the frigged cold that often comes before the snow. I can't wait for the sledding this year and the chance for my dear daughter to really experience the snow for the first time. I so want there to be enough snow to build a snow man family and I'm really excited to go pick a Christmas tree from a local tree farm as a family.
The cold does mean something else though... winter prep work. We have to go and put something both well houses that will keep the pipes warm enough to not freeze, both of our well housings are above ground. Closing the attic door that goes to the outside, during the summer it's open to let the heat out. Finding all the snow shovels that have been moved all over the property, used for shoveling gravel, scrapping the chicken house out, and other tasks. Removing the garden and this year that also mean putting the pigs in the garden to "till" the ground. And in general just gathering things we wouldn't want lost under a blanket of snow.
