Well, I just came back from my power walk, which started with helping my hubby move and feed cows. It is a clear, sunny day, but there is a fierce north wind that is forceful and COLD! I walked my 2 1/2 miles anyway, but on the return trip to my house, in a head wind, the gusts stopped me in my tracks a few times and nearly blew my earmuffs right off my head! BRRRRRR!! Nope, I'm not ready!

Hay there,
\Cute photo...keeps the Grandparents from getting cabin fever!
I guess I'm ready...the rain storms are heading our way then a blast of cold, so they say. I have the hay all ready for cows and nothing is left in the summer garden. I have procrastinated enough now that the winter garden may not get planted at all !! Not enough firewood but I will gather as I go. I would like for fall temps to stick around for a while yet but I doubt it will. I have all my winter projects ready and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting.
So.....I guess I just don't know if I'm ready or not!?!?!

We had TONS of rain in the early morning hours on Monday, which turned to snow. It snowed off and on all day here yesterday, with a break and some blue sky in the late morning. By time to go do cow chores it was snowing like crazy again. Then it cleared out and got cold!
It's a sunny morning but it's cold and there's a bit of a breeze . . . BRRRRRR!!! Nope, not ready!

hey Shannon, what side of B.C. are you from?
I think I jinxed us up here... last night we got hammered with rains and winds and then 2 rounds of hail last night,(not to mention thunder and lightening), and it got down to 28* in the wee hours of the night... and just 30miles up the road,,, yep! Snow...
Hmmm maybe I need to 'wax' the rungs on my 'walker-snowplow! lololol!

My winter will be like Steph's... any day now... until next April. We are enjoying a bit of reprieve; we usually have at least a foot by now.
I do love winter, time to hunker in and be cozy. Quilt, read, read.
But 7-8 months is long, and working outside in the cold is starting to get hard on this aging body.

Steph, you really help put snow in perspective. We get lots here but hopefully we both won't get THAT much!

I agree with the "vacation" from yard work . . . however, when you have cows then you have to haul water and feed to them!

The only reason I like winter is because it's great quilting weather and we have a reprieve from constant yard work. Snow is pretty but we can all do without the ice.

Grace...Mr. Antlers really is a handsome dude. Great Pictures Girl!!!
Cj...I think snow belongs in Colorado. Your State is known for lots of snow. (+:
Annika...I don't know where you live but did your snow last or did it turn to rain?
I'm ready for cold but not rain or snow. I'm already tired of the rain in just the last
two weeks. Our typical Winter here but I want it to just be cold and dry. I'm really good
with that. We haven't even had Frost yet. Usually around Thanksgiving we start to see
heavy frost that almost looks like snow.
More Later girlies...

I am NOT ready! Night before last we had rain and more rain and it was cloudy, chilly and a bit more rainy yesterday. Last night, we got a skiff of snow here at the house . . . the mountains to the east are covered with even more than they were from our last bout of rain. Today IT IS COLD . . . BRRRRR!!!! I AM NOT READY for this!

Nini, as Gracie mentioned us SnowKane girls aren't afraid to drive in the stuff because
we learned to drive in it or else you would be stuck in your house for 5 months out of the Year. LOL!!
Talk about Cabin Fever!!!
Bonnie...I have a bad knee too and it is no laughing matter out there in ice and snow...so just picture yourself
in Grace's Post and add a pillow tied to your butt! Softer Landing and All That!!! Tee Hee Hee!
We are suppose to have another milder winter here again. The Skiers and Snowboarders are all praying for at least
Snow in The Mountains...as last winter was a Bust for Snow Sports around here.
More Later...
Hugs,

Just a darn minute far girls before you laugh too hard, that might be me out there this winter. Falling is no joke when you have bad knees. It does make me giggle though when I think of me in that picture.

Peggy as a former "Snow-kan" (Spokane) resident,,, I don't miss the snow! lol! but I do miss living out in the West Plains of Spokane...

Gracie! That's HYSTERICAL!
I'm ready... Bring it on!!! One of our local meteorologists said we'll be having a mild November with a couple of inches of snow, a little bit more than that in December, a moderate snow January, and then we'll be blasted with heavy snows in February! I'm good... As long as I don't have to drive in it! ;)
Keep warm, girls, but stay cool!

No Snow Please!!! If I want it...I will go up to Mt. Hood and enjoy it for a day up there. But I moved to
Vancouver to get away from the Snow in Spokane 32 years ago. We are having our Fall finally here. Rain and
more rain with cooler mornings. No Frost yet however.
Hey Gracie...is that picture a walker or a snow blower?? Tee Hee...just joking girl!!!
