I think nature decided we needed a good deluge - we've had more than I think 8 inches here - we've had too many mild and damp winters and too many bugs and virus's have spawned and grown when they would have been killed off. A clean slate hopefully for the coming year.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-58663095620266669972009-02-06T21:02:00.000+00:002009-02-06T21:02:00.000+00:00We are snowless here, and I must say I am grateful...We are snowless here, and I must say I am grateful.<BR/><BR/>Bright people are alwas resourceful when faced with challenges! <BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you.Mutterings and Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384198819878227966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-53630913178153654282009-02-06T15:46:00.000+00:002009-02-06T15:46:00.000+00:00Agree with you about the quality of the snow for w...Agree with you about the quality of the snow for walking! Yesterday I really enjoyed walking around the fields behind our house, although about 6 inches deep it was crisp and crunchy. Today after another snowfall of about 8 inches the snow was wet and claggy and very tiring to walk through.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596425511240774220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-32908912266314979062009-02-06T15:44:00.000+00:002009-02-06T15:44:00.000+00:00Good one, always more than one way to do a job on ...Good one, always more than one way to do a job on a farm.<BR/><BR/>Just off to hay the horse and tha rams for the third time today after 5 days of what feels like almost continuous snow.
