Day 29 & 30: Snow, snow, and more Snow..

First off but I would like to just apologize for never doing the blog yesterday or posting it this morning. The reason why will be made evident as you read on.

So the start of Sunday, Day 29 it had snowed the night before. So When i had my alarm set for 5:15am and my dad called, it was still snowing so we decided since it was a Sunday we would go back to bed and check and see what the weather was in an hour. Folks, let me tell you, sure it may only be an extra hour to sleep..but at 5:15 in the mornining every extra minute of sleep or just laying in bed is golden. But since good things never last that hour was up faster then I wanted it to be. There wasn’t too much snow. Only about 2-3 inches. We finished all the driveways in just under an hour. My dad drove me back to the farm. We both didnt sleep much the night before so he stayed at the farm for a bit. We each had a couple beer. then I went to feed the horses and let the dogs out around 8:30am. Then we both ended up falling asleep in the living room. After waking up just after noon Dad left for home and I went to collect the eggs for the day. Got 13 this time. Much better then the 9 I got the day before.

Around 3pm my dad came back up because my fridge broke… there wasn’t any beer left in it! So he brought the proper tools for the job. a 15 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer heheh. Normally I like beer a bit stronger then Pabst. But i like the refreshing taste of the beer. While Dad was there Mike showed up to plow the driveway. Dad left soon after that. Mike went up in the tractor to clean the driveways of the neighbors. While he did that I decided I was hungry so I made myself an early supper. I bbq’d steaks again that were in my special marinade. This time I also made my special gooey pesto garlicbread and a cheddar and bacon stuffed baked potato. I invited Mike in for supper since he seemed quite cold from being out in the sub zero air for over an hour and a half. we visited for a while before he left.

After he left I played some videogames and did a load of wash. Just before I went to go out and put the dogs in for the night and feed the horses I looked out the window to see it was snowing to beat heck outside. After a long sigh I went and did the evening chores. I showered and went to bed just after 10 because the weather channel had issued a snowfall warning for our area.

Day 30: I was glad I went to bed so early last night. When i got up this morning I looked out the window and we got a good 10 inches of snow overnight! It was still snowing again so when my dad called we decided to wait until it stopped. So I got dressed and then laid on my bed until he called. About 2 hours later just before 7:30am he called and I jumped out of a deep sleep. Before I knew it I was out shiveling snow. this stuff sucked. At first it was light powder. But as the morning went on it got warm so the snow got wet and heavier. About halfway through the morning the snowblower broke down and we ended up doing most of the rest of the driveways by hand, with occasional snow blowing if it decided to work. By the time I got back to the farm it was almost noon. I was exhausted! mailnly because we only have one snow blower so I still havel to shovel most of the snow by hand, the rest is cleaning up what the snow blower misses.Even though I was exhausted I basically had to walk in the door, put down my water jug and hat and soaked gloves and then went to do the farm chores.

I let the dogs out first. There was quite a mess in there since they had been inside almost 12 hours. Luckily they have a doggy litterbox with a pole for them to pee against. But I had to shovel up all their crap from the night before. Then I turned my attention to the horses. They seemed to be a little annoyed at me that i was feeding them almost 4 hours later then I normally do. After filling up their water I went and had to do a bit of snow shiveling around the farm. I had to shovel off the patio where I give the dogs their rice. And I had to clean off the sidewalk to my truck, along with the path to the chicken coop and the horse stable for Finn and Rusty. At this point I felt like I was ready to throw up. So I limped back to the house and slumped on the couch with a beer and watched some TV. A little while later I went in for a shower to warm up because I was soaked from sweat and melting snow.

I spent the afternoon relaxing and playing videogames, occasionally checking out the window to see what the mutts were up to. They were actually quite good today. I went to collect the eggs and got 14 today. Just before dusk I looked out the living room window towards the road to see a bunch of yellow flashing lights. From what I could tell a vehicle of some sort had gone into the ditch. There were 2 tow trucks and a big flatbed semi. After watching for a while I saw it was a snow plow that had gone into the ditch. Talk about irony lol. There weren’t any ambulances or anything so the driver must have been alright.

After my legs stopped hurting from todays work I made dinner. I had some left over chicken and vindaloo sauce so I made curry again for supper. That really hit the spot. I had been playing my videogame for about 2 hours and I had one more loading screen to go before I was going to save and of course it froze! So i lost everything because I forgot to save inbetween of course…

After that I decided I would come on and do the blog before it got too late. Its been trying to snow. Hopefully it doesnt add up to anything. I could really use a morning to sleep in a bit. It is supposed to snow, but not until like 9am tomorrow and snow right through till 10pm tomorrow. So if it doesnt stop tomorrow I wont have to go out and shovel snow until Wednesday. Thats what Im hoping for. A day off always makes me feel better.

So Thats all thats happened the past 2 days. Im onto the last week of farm life. The owners will be coming back this coming Sunday. So only got 5 Days left on the farm. Im sure an explosion will happen sooner or later lol.

Thanks for reading and be sure to check in tomorrow for another post

Until next time,
Stay Frosty
