Being it our first snow storm of the season, we sure did get more than I would have like. It would seem from shoveling that we got about 10 inches or so. It does make the trees beautiful. It is the clean up that is such a mess.
The dogs weren’t to thrilled about it. Except Kodie. He doesn’t seem to be phased by too much. He reminds of when I had Kishka and he would just go out and play then lie down in the snow. It was much different with Kishka, since Kishka was a wolf cross, but it does remind me of him. Kodie, being a Cocker Spaniel, doesn’t even think he looks like a wolf. But he sure does act like one some days.
Today we resume the clean up of the snow. I feel bad that my back is bugging me, and I am not able to do what I want to do.
I suppose we should make a path to the carrots too. Being that the root cellar has very steep stairs, I decided that the earth would act as my root cellar and left the carrots in the garden. I packed the dirt up around them for insulation, and now that they have almost a foot of snow on them they have even more insulation. The pumpkins and squashes were put down in the cellar for winter storage. They have there comfy home until we decide to eat them. Growing your own food has to be the greatest feeling. You plant the seed, watch it grow, and pick the fruit of your summer labors. Fresh, right from the garden is the best way to eat veggies.
