Fall and Winter

By this time we're normally flooded and have to go out to make sure nothing has been swept away or drowned but this year we've had nothing but cold. This is the start of the second month of freezing temps. Most nights the lows are around 32 but we've had some stretches of 20's and even some teens so that our pipes have frozen more than a few times. The crops are taking longer to germinate with these temperatures. Our wood pile is quickly shrinking and we've had to fill up the propane tank again. We've been here 2 1/2 years and I'm finding it amusing that there is no such thing as normal. What happened the first two winters has not taken place at all. We'll just have to see how things play out to see how this winter treats us.
