Winter is Coming...

11/14/2014

It was a great summer for us here.  We had fun playing with the kids when they were out of school(and when we weren't working), had an amazing tomato harvest, and now are getting ready for winter.  Our garden set a record this year for longevity, and we were able to protect the tomatoes from the first early frosts.  I think all told we put up over 50 quarts of tomatoes!   We still have lots of  squash that we brought in, and just harvested the last potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots last weekend!
     We still have one Pinzgauer bull to sell, with the other having gone to his new home last weekend.  The 2 yaks we sold left earlier this month.  We are almost down to our winter numbers!  Jeff worked hard a few weekends ago getting hay stockpiled for the winter, so we should be all set there.  The yaks and cattle aren't home yet from their summer pasture, and our place looks a little empty!  That will soon change and I'll be out in the snowy pre-dawn feeding all of them.  In the meantime, I'll enjoy my easy morning chores!
