Snow Storm

Yesterday after the snow stopped I took the opportunity to capture a few pictures.

Isn’t that just beautiful?!

Yesterday morning, when the snow let up the heifers went back to grazing.

Eli and Rebekah both have bottle calves that they are feeding.  Generally I make the bottles for them and they feed the calves but with the large drifts I have taken pity on them the last two mornings. So two mornings I have waddled out to the barn to feed the calves and do the chores and both mornings the barn doors have been drifted shut. Ugh!  So then it’s through the drifts to the other side of the barn to reach the calves.  (This would all be easier to do if I weren’t 39 weeks pregnant! LOL)  Each evening Scott digs the doors out and opens them but each morning they are drifted shut again.  🙂

We have gotten nearly two feet of snow this week so now we are unrolling hay for our heifers.

The girls are waiting at the gate. They can see Scott coming with the truck.

The bales have plastic netwrap on them which has to be taken off before feeding the hay to the cattle.

The heifers are anxious to get to the freshly unrolled hay.

The path that we fed hay on is where Scott pushed the snow aside with the tractor.

Thankfully through all of this snow we have maintained power.  Many around us have not been so blessed.  Now if this baby will just pick a day when the roads are clear to make his/her appearance.
