Our first snowfall is always in September up here at Sky Ranch (6,100 ft.), but our first "winter storm" takes place in October and this year was no different. When the warning came, we stocked up on food & firewood, hay for the horses and goats, brought the snowcat up near the house and holed up for 2 days while the storm blew in and raged on.
Today, it just snowed, quietly and beautifully (without wind) so we took the opportunity to plow to the barn to let the goats out for some fresh air. The babies, Igor and Zhivago just wanted to climb the snow berms and play. Shatoosh was stunned. So was I. It looked like February or March, NOT October!!!
Doug did a great job plowing with the snowcat, I shoveled out the snow-packed goat shed while Sam & Larissa invented the new sport of snow-surfing.
Here...a little slideshow of todays events...seeing IS believing...(Yes, living high on a mountain-top is sure beautiful, but also a LOT of work...):::
