possible: ice, sleet, freezing rain, and yes...SNOW! The news is calling for 6-8"s of snow to be exact. This means an early (more-so than usual) start to the day in order to get a jump on the impending weather. After the morning animal feeding routine, first on the list was to get the snow chains on the tractor in case we'll need to dig our way down off the mountain. My first attempt to start the tractor came with a discovery: the key had been left in the on position despite the engine being off. Yes. It was I. I always forget that even though the engine is turned off, the key still needs to be turned to the off position. There is always something to make a simple task a little more complicated up here on the farm. After bringing my trusty eighty-eight Nova down to the barn, a quick jump start brought me back to step one. With the tractor chained and ready to go we're currently getting a lot of sleet mixed with rain, and a thick coating of ice. Despite the winter weather, Aslan and the other animals are still having a blast! Wish us luck and stay tuned for more updates about the weather on our end and more happenings around the farm.
