Three times Tuesday afternoon, the snow fell so hard and fast that half an inch collected on the ground in just a few minutes.  And three times, the sun came out and melted the snow away in just as short a period.

Mark told me I was crazy to consider getting up on the coop roof to finish up that project, so we instead spent a bit of time clearing some of the brush and logs at the corner of the new pasture that we never quite got to last year.  Mark cut while I wheeled the bounty home to stack in the woodshed.

Clearing up that corner of the new pasture turned up two new spots for apple trees.  It seems that that fitting in a dozen more semi-standard apples won't be any trouble at all!

Winter needs to move along

It dropped down to the lower thirties here (southern Louisiana) last night. Seems that Winter just doesn't want to leave.

Apple trees

Dang girl! How's my trees do you want to end up with? Is that all for your larder or do you want to sell fruit?

Too many apples?

Kathleen --- We at a lot of apples since these are one of the few fruits you can store and eat fresh all winter. Plus, things always happen, so I don't really expect all twelve trees to make it to fruition. If it's too much fruit, though, I'm sure my family will take some off my hands.
