Another cold and sunny day in Utah
Here are a couple pictures of my new home. These were taken last summer. Picture this with about 3 inches of snow and you'll see what I see.
Would you believe? We may get above freezing if we hurry.
Just this morning, Cindy and I were discussing how much wood we've burned this year vs last year.
Looks like we've gone through almost 3 cords of wood... Guess I know a little about what summer brings. The guy down the road has a firewood permit and cuts enough for several of us. With about10 homes to the section here, I would imagine we can all survive on about 40 cords of wood.
She also let me know it's nearly time to go for hay again. Now, that's an adventure. This fat old lady really huffs and puffs trying to wrestle a 110# bale of hay from the stack to the truck.
Today we cleaned Dusty's stall and corral. That's Cindy's horse. At nearly 3 years of age, it's time to start training him... and he has a really strong "play drive". This could be a very interesting summer.
We still have all four of the lambs. Two have been sold and are waiting to go to market. If the guy who bought them doesn't pick them up soon, they'll be yearlings rather than lambs. We're keeping a one of the full-size ewes and also the little Merino. She's about 2/3 sized and is brown.
Pretty soon now it will be time to think about creating compost piles and then worm beds.
