The sun came out this afternoon, cold and sun is better than dark and cold. The temperature never got above 2 degrees at the farm today, nothing melted, but color matters, it is much colder in other parts of the country and has been for awhile. I keep thinking of my first winter at Bedlam Farm, there was a series of – 20, even- 30 nights, I was not prepared, I did not have the right clothing or set-up to handle it well, I had to wrap  hose around my neck and haul it to the barn and then back into the basement to thaw, I was much into drama them, I have learned a bit, it was always a part of life here, but this kind of cold is becoming less frequent. I was glad to see the sun, our plow man is building up s good sized hill.
