With 30-40cm of snow forecast for the next 24 hours, I think winter really did make a early debut. Already we have almost as much snow on the ground as we did for the entire last year! I guess we were overdue, the last time it snowed this much, this early, was 10 years ago (I know I remember living in the city and my son Brandon's toys (he was only a year old) were all buried in the snow and I had to dig them out...in spring). Now the other reason it's gonna snow like crazy is... because I'm building a barn! Today, despite the snow, and weather, I managed to get one gable end finished from left from yesterday. The side I started first, is the direction the wind blows... normally, except of course for today! At least all the siding is up now, and I bought a couple of tarps to close up the 2 big end doors (until I can get real ones...). Incidentally, if you want to challenge your dexterity, try putting up tarps, in the wind... by yourself. Now try and not get blown off the ladder, and get the tarps up remotely straight.
Anyway, all I need to do now is close up the loft ends and install the smaller door...build some stalls... and I can finally get the horses in. Of course winter may be over by then. Still waiting on that miracle.
