So far this winter, we've enjoyed extremely mild temperatures. A brown Christmas was fun until the boys asked for the snow. Sorry, we told them...maybe next year!January on the farm is typically the time of year when Nick hauls out any grain that has been stored on the farm.
For the last several days, he's been hauling out 2010 barley to an elevator about 15 miles away...the barley will then be shipped out and eventually turned into beer...so drink up, we're counting on you!
January is also a time for home improvement projects to get done...so far, we've got a half finished basement and a bare fireplace...but after the grain is hauled out, hopefully we can get back on track with the home stuff.
So far, we've gotten about a 1/2 foot of the white stuff but with record breaking temps in the 50s earlier this month, there is just a little bit of snow left.
We're loving not having to blow snow or shovel but the boys are anxious to have dad create some sort of sledding hill somewhere in the yard...we'll see about that.
Gramma Vinje has taken a mid-winter break and headed to DC to see Bill and the boys. I'm sure she'll be coming back with plenty of stories and photos which i'll share via facebook.
That's it from the cold and snowy farm, hope everyone is well and having a great 2012.
