Really?

A spring winter storm is hitting this area.  It was supposed to hit last night but it delayed it's march through the region until today.  It just now hit where I live.   All the news forecasts (local and national) have Jamestown area slated for between 12 - 18 inches of snow.  Lovely.

So, what am I doing on this last (hopefully) winter storm? 

I just finished unloading the dishwasher, putting in a load of laundry and folding another, and making a huge pot of vegetable/beef soup.  Yum! 

I'm settling in for the day with hubster on the couch.  I'm actually happy for him.  You see, this time of year we would be calving out 400 head of cows.  In the past when these types of rain or snow storms would hit, he would be frantic with worry on "what am I going to do with the calves" or "I feel sorry for the animals."  ( We didn't have any barn space to house the cattle.)   He would be at the farm literally 24/7 keeping an eye on things.

But now that we don't have cattle any longer, he doesn't have to worry.  He's sitting on the couch looking outside at the weather.  In fact, he just said, "I feel sorry for those animals that are out in the open." 

My goal today?  Nothing.  Blogging and reading a good book.  (I'm now down to 2 books in progress rather than 3).  :)
