nice little fast Clipper headed our way, currently in Indiana thru Western PA, probably get here mid to late afternoon.
one inch max, maybe one I can use the leaf blower on...
might catch parts of VA and Maryland
just a nice winter afternoon where most of us don't have to do anything but throw on another log.
It is a day of rest...
not for farmers with animals though.
In 1959 my grandfather wanted to do something for us grandkids as we were still young, but growing up.
We were told we could have the front 30 acres fenced in, and have animals, if we would take care of them and understand
the very long term commitment that meant. Or we could have a swimming pool.
Since my younger sister was not into horses, well let's say we all learned to swim well.
And we all worked, all had afternoon or weekend jobs, well, except for my sister.
But to jump into that pool in the early sixties after ten or eleven
hours of mowing lawn on the farm, well,
that was the Nestea plunge of the day.
so we never had big animals, just big dogs and a variety of unsocial and sometimes psychotic cats.
Today? once I settle down for good, maybe a Llama. or a giraffe...
just has to be the right climate for them. I'm not building a special high rise barn for a giraffe in the winter...
