Hazy Shade of Winter – A Pictorial

I braved the frigid cold (5° windchill) to stroll around the farm this morning and take some pictures. Jake couldn’t make it out back, the snow was too high. I guess that’s a problem when you’re only 7″ tall. A lot of people complain about the winter but I love it. Everyone needs a break and It’s so quiet and serene and so close to heaven I should pass around a collection basket.

 

 

 

Hang in the gardening friends! Soon it will all be green and overflowing with life, so enjoy the cold calmness of winter.

It’s been scorching hot on the farm this past week. Upper 80’s Low 90’s with Humidity hovering around 80% or More. I thought now was a good time to look at the farm during autumn and winter. A quiet beautiful time of reflection and preparation for next season. Enjoy the pictures and remember, dry heat is dry heat. 100 degrees in dry heat is still 100 degrees. Ever stood next to a fire? That’s dry heat and it’s still hot. So, don’t buy into the whole “dry heat” load of bull.
