Houston weather news this morning going on and on about a FROST next week! HORRORS!! Quick! Everybody rush to the store for bread and milk!

we have a forecast that includes a possible inch of snow (tomorrow, tomorrow night and into Monday). i'll believe it when i see it... i can't remember the last time we had snow this early in November but i think i recall it was a very cold winter that seemed to go on forever. i suspect i will survive.

weather warms back up to rain and sunshine next week enough that perhaps i'll get out for more gardening.

The incoming storm system is predicted to dump up to 10 inches of Lake effect snow southeast of Cleveland in the next 48 hours into the snow belt. Winter storm watch in effect. We are now 20 miles south of the traditional southern edge of the belt (instead of being in it), so I am thinking only an inch or so here.

Ran some Saturday morning errands. Got a late start since I slept in past 8am. Got the front yard mowed for the last time this season. Got all of the bird feeders up and stocked. Gave up outside as the wind is very cold and very damp. 48 degrees and 80% humidity per the garden weather station

Sitting in my recliner sipping tea and relaxing.

Long day yesterday -- wrangled goats, trailer, loading & off to auction. 6am & finally home at 7pm. In bed at 8:30 -- and slept like a rock!! Coffee is so welcome this morning. Relaxing & enjoying.

It'll be another outside day, just not as demanding as yesterday. Need to move trailer back to its spot, clean out, etc. Took out some bags of shavings stored in it before loading goats. Might disinfect & rebed a couple stalls since they're now at the barn.

With help of neighbors, I processed 3 lambs yesterday. Quartered and on ice, I'll be cutting and vacuum sealing today after church. and tomorrow after taking my sister in law to Physical Therapy. Ive never processed my lambs, just couldn't do it. Neighbor shot them, then we hung them off the tractor bucket, skinned, gutted and packed on ice. I sent them home with ham, shoulder, backstrap, 2 tenderloins, flanks, my FoodSaver and bags.

Overachiever!

our forecast upped the inches of snow to three to four more today/tonight/tomorrow, but it all melts off later this week.

Apparently juvenile coopers hawks are dumb as bricks. Kept flying into the fence trying to escape the silkies. Couldn't get it to fly out the door. Silkies are considerably bigger
