I think I'm ready for snow. I'm tired of rain, and when everything is white, it is beautiful. But I'm not complaining, especially when I think about all the places that had no rain, like Flagman's Mt Rushmore fire, and Colorado's fires and Arizona's fires and southern California's fires and radu's crop lose.

Brrrrrr! I get goosebumps just thinking about that white stuff. It's gorgeous to look at but I don't like it if I have to go outside in it.

The guys were out in the fields in the combine yesterday trying to salvage what little crop we may have gotten this year. There was a little but it's pretty sad. But farming's a gamble and it's one we willingly take. Hopefully the winter wheat will be abundant. We can only hope. :-))
