Thanks AR. Are you hunkered down for the South Dakota winter?
Actually, not so bad so far this winter.
Temps have been warmer than normal, with lows mostly in the teens or 20s, and a few nights even above freezing. Highs have been as much as 60, though mostly in the 30s or 40s.
We do have snow cover in the garden, but around the house & barns a lot of mud in between patches of white, too.
