First Snow of the Season

12/20/2012

We woke up to 11 inches of beautiful white snow this morning. My husband ventured to work with 4 wheel drive this morning and was back home by 11. Since I have no orders and no shows in the next week, took the day off and stayed inside all day and kept warm and worked on my website and other things inside I don't take time to do. It has been a very relaxing day.
Went out to do chores at 3 and no one was there to meet me until the feed was put out and the new babies said to forget it they would stay in and let moma go out in the snow. I am sure they will go outside if it is sunny tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to my husband Tom today!
Snow on the ground this morning when we awoke. Colder than we have seen for awhile. Watched the grand daughters Makala and Mariah yesterday and they helped with stocking the Creston Indoor Farmers Market so Matt would have more to sell for Christmas. They put up our Christmas Tree yesterday afternoon, did a very nice job. Took them to their 4- H meeting this morning at 11, where their mother picked them up, and I came home and made a few cheesecake mixes this afternoon for the mail tomorrow.

We have 6 new baby goats born since the day before Thanksgiving. I have only 1 older doe to kid and 4 doelings to kid next spring. I have 1 doe I am milking right now and am very busy trying to get ahead on making soap. Have a good supply of most fragrances and more curing now.
My last market for the year is this Friday and Saturday Downtown Winter Market downtown DesMoines. I hope the weather is good (no snow or ice) cold is ok.

Pat at the Winterset Farmers Market

Author

Hi My name is Pat Randol and I was raised on a farm in Clarke County Iowa. Where my family helped raise a few goats, gardening, and my mother raised Collie dogs. I love the country and after I got married we lived in a small town where I did have a back yard garden and finally got the opportunity to move to the country in Winterset Iowa. We own our little bit of heaven on 12 acres. I have 3 goats, 3 dogs, 2 horses, couple dozen chickens and a fairly large garden area. We raise honey bees and I sell excess honey at local farmers markets
