In Pictures - February 2021

2/15/2021

We have had more snow this year than we have had in quite a few years. While snow always makes farm life more difficult, it sure adds beauty to a gray winter.

I always love snow pictures...but I never have many because it is just too darn cold to go outside for a photo shoot.

I have braved the cold a few times for some very short photo opportunities...but it only takes a few minutes for my fingers to go numb and then I can't even use my camera.

I know...

I sound like a wussy city girl.

I did grow up in the city...

But I have had my fair share of cold days...so I say I have earned my time in the nice warm house.

I vividly remember the winter of 40 below wind chills and trying to deliver my paper route without getting frost bite.

I wish I knew about Carhartt's way back then...but that is the city in me.

Now I am a smart country girl.

When I have to go outside, I have all the Carhartt's, coveralls and insulated Muck boots to keep me warm.

I have a Val-6 heater that I park myself in front of...without shame.

But most importantly...

I just stay inside where it is nice and warm.

But, as you can see...I did venture out a few times.

And I am glad I did.

This is Us - our life, our story, our farm
