Still Snowy. . .

February 15, 2010

in Signs of Winter

Okay, so we still have snow, and still getting more snow. Granted, around here it doesn't usually last long. It often snows in the morning and the stuff is gone by the afternoon.

Three Shetland ewe sheep.

A little snow here, a little snow there. . .

Still, I've seen enough white stuff. We're in the south. A little bit goes a long way.

Of course, I'm grateful we're not getting dumped on like our relatives in West Virginia or Virginia and the D.C. area!!!  That's way more snow than I want to handle these days!

Spring is coming. . . I just know it is... but to be the shortest month of the year, February sure seems to last a long time!

I have a friend in the Virginia/DC area. She’s sooooo over the snow, and it snowed again today.
Eight more days until March, eight more days until March…..

Your snow looks so shallow and soft. We still have the foot of snow on the ground left over from over a week ago. And I’ve not seen earth or grass for 4 weeks now. beh!
We seriously needed the moisture, since we only 3 good rains last summer, but I know winter is not over here for a couple more months still. We’ve gotten snow up here as late as Memorial Day.

Rural Ramblings!

I’m writing to request permission to use some of your poultry photos for an educational display I am organizing here at Seed Savers Exchange Heritage Farm in Decorah, IA. We are getting some Sicilian Buttercups and it sure is hard to find good images of them out there.

Let me know!
All the best.

I live in WV and my poor kids have missed 15 days of school thanks to the snow here. It’s bad when your kids want to go to school. I can’t wait until spring or at least have temperatures above freezing. My cows are having calves and I am having to keep them in the barn. All of my stalls are full, and I have 5 more babies to go.
