I’m going to suggest we take a look at the concept of global cooling. I base this on the 20 + years we’ve lived at our home.  I have to plow as there’s too much area to snow blow (though I did snow blow the first couple years) and I pretty much keep track of how many times a year I do that. In the beginning when I first got my tractor I couldn’t wait to get out there and recall the first year tearing the hell out of the place as I was eager to go but the ground wasn’t frozen enough. The novelty of plowing wore off by the end of that year and now I plow when I have to, or a voice tells me that the snow is coming up onto the hood of said voice’s car.  Now I have the truck which makes it fun again and am more apt to go out before hearing voices. All in all though I do believe we are getting more snow now that we were 20 years ago and it’s coming sooner. Hence, I declare the world in a state of global cooling and I challenge all to disprove it.

This year we were quick to get ready for the snow and managed to get everything wraped up in a couple weekends. I got all the leaves picked up last Saturday (took me 6 hrs.) and we managed to get them and the manure spread on the gardens, I also got the truck plow and chains on as well as it’s much easier done when not in the snow. We were way early as we don’t get snow until mid November but you never know……guess what, Global cooling and we had our first snowfall 24 hrs. after we put the garden to bed, it snowed Nov. 7th. It’s such a good feeling when it snows and I’m not out there trying to pull garden hoses out of the frozen  snow and thawing them in the basement, which has happened since the Global cooling system can catch you off guard.

Can barely see the mtn. top for the storm coming.

Truck’s ready to go.

Leaves are in and will rot and be tilled in the spring.

 Great work Susie!

Shelby lookin for squirrels, there’s still hope.
