More winter!

                                  

                                Last weekend we had another snow storm!  It moved in on Thursday night with snow and wind.  Everything in Northwest Wisconsin was closed with the area sheriff department urging people to stay off the highway.

 We used the tractor and loader to clear out our driveway.  DH also started up the John Deere Bulldozer to push the snow back.  He needed to use the dozer to clear a path to feed the cattle.

Several machine sheds, garages, and decks have collapsed under the weight of the snow.  DH and DS-1 spent Sunday afternoon trying to shovel snow off our biggest machine shed.

Farm Taxes are completed!  That means--out comes my sewing machine!!  I need therapy time.

Last Sunday afternoon we celebrated Jessa's third birthday.  All she wanted to eat was the "Blue Cake Grandma made."

 

It seems unreal to think Kylie is six months old already.

God Bless,

Linda

Wisconsin Recess

Finally an outside recess.  The weather in northern Wisconsin during January was too cold to allow the students outside most days.   If the temperature is below zero they stay inside.   Today the temperature is 10 degrees with no windchill.  They were loving it!

 We were closed due to extreme cold temperature and windchill four days in January.   In addition to the cold weather there is an extreme shortage of LP (Propane) to heat homes.  Before Christmas we paid $1.17 per gal to fill our tank.  Currently the price is over $7.00 if you are able to find it.  The dealers are expecting cash on delivery and will only drive to a tank if the tank is down to 10%.  Many families have their heat turned down to 60-65 degrees.  

This morning I saw a house fire in an older home that was using a space heater to heat the home. 

We are all ready for spring.
