Snow in the forecast….yeh

There is something about the snow that makes everything looks so clean and good. This is a picture of our house last year when we got that huge snow storm. I get excited when I hear snow is on the way. Why is that? I feel like a kid again. Kathy went out and bought a bunch of groceries to make sure we have what we need. I don’t have chains for my new car so we will use her 4-wheel drive if need be. I stopped by and got dog food and a heat lamp for the goats. If it’s gets down to 15 degree’s they need something to keep them warm. Jess covered the vents and faucets the other day. I even bought a few flood lights to put in the pump houses to protect the pipes in those places. When you live in the country you have to worry about pump houses too.

In Oregon you don’t always trust the weather experts because they make a lot of mistakes. Hey, it’s science and God doesn’t give us a whole lot to go on. So, tomorrow night we’ll all look out the windows one hundred times to see if the snow is falling, if it’s accumulating and if there will be enough to keep us indoors, by the fire, sipping hot coffee or drinking a dark beer or 14 hands cab.

So, pull the covers up to your neck tonight. Get up early and make sure everything is covered and ready for the cold weather. Grab a book, some snacks, a beer and the remote and relax. It’s Western Oregon, enjoy the snow while it lasts. Man, I hope it snows for Christmas.
