Holy Cow! That’s got more water flowing than our “mighty” Beaver River. Course our rivers are like your streams

That was just a flash flood. We are high and dry, but there's a couple of low places between us and town that water goes over the road. It doesn't happen often, when it does, we just stay home!

They say the Beaver once almost went over the bridge 40 years ago. That’s the closest we’ve been and it hasn’t even been in my lifetime so I’m not too worried. The snow is another story though. Weather report says we’re supposed to get our first real snow storm on Friday and I’m curious how much we’ll really get. Seems like every year everyone in Utah has to relearn how to drive in the snow.

It gets plum dangerous here if they even predict the possibility of a few flakes....after having spent a couple of years in Maine....most here just freakout if it just starts sticking and there'll be wrecks everywhere.....just absolutely crazy....
I ustacould say I've never been in a snow related accident... That all changed this past spring In the navy we had a saying... one awe $h*t wipes out a thousand attaboys... 40+ years of winter driving experience, guess it was a matter of time...

That’s a very accurate saying. I’ll have to ask my brother if they still use that one.
On another note as I get things together for getting sheep next year I’ve had the nagging thought at the back of my mind to consider hair sheep. I’ve only ever dealt with wool breeds and I’m not sure how hair breeds do in comparison. But someone was saying they taste better than wool lamb and where I really enjoy lamb it’s really grabbed my interest. And made me hungry for a doner kebab.

I have hair sheep. Just sent a 3 year old ram to slaughter and can't tell if from a 10 month old lamb.

That’s really impressive!
Well it’s finally here
It’s snowing pretty good. This will be Dixie and the ducks’ first winter. Dixie was born in March in the house and stayed inside for the first 4 weeks so by the time she got outside it was all melted. She and Kya have the doghouse though and are pretty content. I’ve never seen Kya use her doghouse really she used to just hunker down under the camper trailer. The ducks seem to really be enjoying the snow, they’re standing out in it jabbering away. And I finally get to use my stove after moving it upstairs and it is a world of difference! It’s almost too hot!

These two are old hands at this snow deal. Both were born at high altitude and spent their first few years in pasture without even a lean-to. Jack in fact was born in the snow at 8000 feet!
