2022 Frozen Tundra Farm Report

sKePTiKal:
More snow on the way for us; prediction is 8" to a foot. Buck is thrilled.

We have a bit of running around to do, since it now looks as if the shop will be closed in next week. Doors arrive at contractor tomorrow (sposed to; anyway).

I'm trying to untangle a shipping nightmare with greenhouse people and looking at things online... no joy yet. I might just put Holly on that. Lately she's been bugging me about delegating stuff to her... and I think this is right up her alley -- and it's her greenhouse anyway.

Buck and I start the process of changing his vehicle info, ID, etc to up here.

It's CLOSE now. To the time he's going to be completely here, once & for all.

Very exciting, Amber!  Yes yes yes to giving Hol the greenhouse project, since it's hers.

I'm sure Hops us getting ready for snow too, as am I.  We shopped for provisions today and put them away.  Tomorrow I get both vehicles into the garage and don't a but more work on the yard.

What will you cook during snow in, Amber?  Do you feel you'll lose power for a while?

Hopalong:
You and Buck getting snowed in on the mountain, crackling fire in the hearth, something yummy wafting good smells from the kitchen, good music playing, the Big Decision clearly made, the boy's moving in for real...

I wish you two a happy, peaceful first together-snow-in, Amber! Smiling just contemplating your contentment.

Lighter, I don't prepare for snow. Sit indoors like a comatose rabbit and only stir myself if the heat goes off. I did though...stock batteries and food. All I need. One simple thing to do by Sunday is just put the windshield and rear window snow covers on my car (hate de-icing). Have crow-food at the ready by the door (peanuts in shell plus kitten chow...). One of them came back later on and cawed for a snack yesterday, made me happy. He or she got extra. By spring I hope we'll be friends!

Y'all stay warm and cozy. Amber you've got ole B, and Lighter, I hear pugs make excellent bed warmers...

I will be happy with another snow. I love the enforced stillness. Quiet everywhere.

hugs
Hops

Hops:
My retired nurse neighbor presses me into service clearing driveways and the road with her snow blower when we have snow.

Even if it's going to melt, she wants everyone to be able to drive to the hospital in their own car, if needed.  I adore her, but I might not be up to it this year.  It's tough work.  Cold work.

I'm happy to picture you warm and inside.  I knowy youngest wants to do an outdoor photo shoot in the snow, which is fine.  Walking through the snowy moon lit forest makes my heart happy and then there's sledding under the power lines.

sKePTiKal:
Hops: from the radar picture, you'll be getting snow there withiin an hour or two. Later on it'll be one of those nasty mixes with the kitchen sink of precipitation in it to put a crust of ice on top. Hope you have slip on ice spikes if you have to take pooch out.

B and I have been in storm prep - and laying in stuff we need for projects around here - the past few days. Kids are doing the same and all the equipment to plow is readied. I would dearly love to be cozily snowed in and moving slow. I just don't see it happening though.

Yesterday evening, Hol txted that S is flying to Chicago Tues morning. His sister has had cancer and has decided to go into hospice. They'll need to be able to get out and we have miles of driveway when she drives him to airport. Ice and wind means we can expect to need the chainsaws too in places. Internet & power are iffy for me - but I'll be fine thanks to generator and an extensive movie library.

B's metal (my bionic man) & my sinuses have complicated everything - our body's response to the crazy barometer swings ahead of the storm. Today, the congestion seems a lot better but B said I coughed all night long. But we work pretty well together on things - even when we're in "diivide & conquer" mode - and have settled comfortably into the holding pattern until next week's appt. We're expecting the surgeon referral to be made on Wed - but then, we "wash, rinse, repeat" - while they decide IF they'll take him on, and WHEN they'll consult, and WHEN they'll do surgery and how long he needs to stay here to recuperate.
