The picture was taken last Saturday of the Sun.
CHILLY, COLD , COYOTES...WINTER IS MOVING IN!
We are freezing every night, the wind is cool, yet we are still getting breaks of beautiful sunshine.
I worry I will wake up to that white stuff.
SNOW.
 As much as I think snow is beautiful, it is the driving.
 I worry sick about my husband on the highway twenty four - seven.
 I worry about my daughters driving.
I worry about my daughter having to have a baby and  they do not deliver babies in this town.
I worry about my son in Tumbler Ridge working in a mine.
 I worry about my son's girlfriend in Tumbler Ridge working in a mine.
 And, why because of snow and winter driving.
As soon as the first cold spell hits us, I am out making the rink. Last year was awesome we had the ice rink from November until the end of February.
I hope you all have pleasant dreams and I hope you do not wake up to the white stuff.

Each night we seem to be getting a bit chillier. The days seem to be quite nice though. Yesterday the boys moved the sheep this should be their last move now for winter.
 This move worries me. This is the side of the property where I heard horrible, sneaky coyotes trying to lure our dogs out then gun shots...
I don't sleep as well when the sheep are not  locked up in the front pen.
I will move the Ram out near the end of February.
I also have to decide on the goats.
 This particular herd of goats are very, very bad and really they should be sold...
They can not behave for two minutes.
Well I am off to move piles and piles of pine needles. Enjoy your day

Every night it seems to be getting a bit cooler

Good Morning
Our dogs are barking pretty good this early morning and it is not even breaking day. I imagine it is the bears heading to the river looking for breakfast. Or, those sneaky coyotes. Both are fine as long as the keep on going straight past our property and don't eye up my sheep.
We seem to be pretty busy here. My husband is out working. I have full hockey duty. My boys will be pawned off for the weekend for their tournaments.
I need to finish up some projects. I have a Christmas fair I have committed to and I just have not had time to deal with things. I guess I will have to pull some long late nights. Ahh I hate those. I get so tired.
Everything on the farm seems to be okay, coasting along. The Ram is in full force with his girls. The billy goat is his usual BAD self. He is running with the girls, climbing trees, having full fledged fights with the bull and stinks to High Heavens...
The rabbits are good digging, digging, digging...everyday I have to fill those holes.
I hope you have a wonderful day
Again we raid war on the MICE!

Good Morning
