Snow again

This time of year brings the bragging weather. Deer season went by with just the last weekend with a little snow on the ground. It's easier to track a wounded deer with a little snow for the tracks to show up in. Not that I have to worry about that. Last year I shot my deer while it was drinking out of the stock tank. I shot it with my camera. This year I could have gotten one again, but I had 4 little kids with me. No worries, a co-worker who has been hunting on my land is sharing some venison with me her 11 year old niece shot in my back yard. And I found out that I have neighbors who have been giving permission to people to drive over my land. That'll have to stop. But with the snow and the cold weather I'll have to wait until spring to put the fence back up they tore down.

Yesterday and last night we got 12 inches of snow here. I was able to get in (from work) and back out (going to work) of my driveway, and in again ( home again).

 

And then my drive was plowed out and winged way back to make room the next 6 inches that is supposed to dump on us this weekend. Being Thanksgiving weekend, I have a long weekend to stay home and enjoy myself outside. I suppose I'll have to cook the turkey, but the kids are coming on Saturday to eat so I'll have a couple of days to play outside and clean house before I have to put the apron on. The wind is supposed to come up and the snow is supposed to blow. I've got my kerosene lanterns and candles ready if the power goes out. I just don't have an emergency backup heat source. However the dogs do keep me warm if I allow them on the bed.
























I have a confused Christmas cactus in full bloom right now. The bright red does add a bit of joy to the house.
