OK, but this time we only got 6" and it's already gone. So far it's been a dry, warmish winter. Still in the 20's and 30's at 6 am. Today it's not supposed to get out of the 30's, and the wind's still blowing... UGH. At least the sun is shining. I sure wish I had my greenhouse up now; I've got wood I want to paint with Halt Cribbing (because donkeys are part beaver) and it's too cold outside for the stuff to soak in. So I'm going to try it in the kitchen while SO is at work today... the fumes from the stuff make her wheeze.

Finally got fiesty enough yesterday to say to hell with the weather and went out and got some stuff done. We skipped breakfast and went out and put the roofing tin over the front of the stalls, so now the wind can't blow rain and snow in there. Had to get right to it 'cause the weather predicted light winds later, which came up just as we were putting the last sheet up. Hooray!

Being on such a roll, I went into town and picked up some plywood to replace the stuff the donkeys ate on the walls. Managed to get one sheet painted and up, using one of the stalls that are now protected from the wind. =0) Shenanigans managed to get his head far enough into the stall to take a nibble from the new wood...

Thing I do not like... working with sheet goods in the wind. }:0P

Now to clear out the kitchen and throw a tarp down...
Here's a view of our valley in late summer, when the sunflowers are blooming...
