It's Sunday November 22, the day after Mother Nature dumped 14 inches of heavy snow on Bear Valley Farm. On the up side, it was a beautiful scene as you can see from the photos. On the downside, it took me the entire day to plow it all out. On the up side, my ATV plow could handle even 14 inches of wet snow. On the down side, the animals have no place to graze anymore. On the up side, the forecast calls for mild weather that will melt all this snow within a week. On the down side, it will leave everything a muddy wet mess. On the up side, the animals will once again have pasture to graze on. On the down side, it's only a matter of time before another snow covers the land. On the up side, once winter settles in, the ground will freeze and mud will no longer be a problem. On the down side, Farmer Tom will have frozen fingers and toes. On the up side, the animals can handle the cold just fine. They all have warm fuzzy winter coats.
Here are a couple of pics of the first snow:
