With a snowstorm blanketing the landscape outside, I thought it would be a good time to organize and post some photos of scenes around the farm. Every season out here has its own beauty and winter is no different.
The photos from the hilltop are brought to us courtesy of the new Firestone M/T tires that I just put on the truck. Yes, that was M/T and not A/T. These things are big and nasty and awesome! While they were designed to take you through deep mud, they have already proven themselves to be the best thing that I have ever had on any truck for getting through snow. Photos of these bad boys will follow in a future post.
On top of the hill and near the site where our future off-the-grid dream house will be located.
The sun setting behind the Hickory Grove. I've caught some of the most beautiful sunsets that I have ever seen from this area after the leaves have fallen for the year from the hickory trees.
Deer love our cornfields and dig through the snow to find unharvested cobs every night. The tip of our largest silo can be seen just above the horizon on the right.
The intersection of the field road and ridge road. I refer to this spot as, "Haight/Ashbury." While I think the name is really groovy, it has not caught on with the rest of the commune.
Blanketed in white are about 60 or 70 apple trees, as seen from our yard. The mound in the foreground is part of the drain field for our new septic system. More on that whole disaster later.
Cheers! Ran across this Cabernet Sauvignon a few weeks ago. It pairs well with photo viewing, day-dreaming, or anything else I've tried it with. I highly recommend it.
But for now I sit with a glass of red wine, occasionally glancing out the window at the snow coming down while listening to Van Morrison's, "Magic Time" recording, and pull up photos that make me so very glad to be living in God's Country.
One more pic, looking down to our little creek which has vanished behind the trees and under the snow.
