Two days ago it was warm enough to open up the cold frames and cut lettuce and spinach (that was a treat!), and today it is gray and very cold and the ground is covered with snow. Winter set in early this year, but I'm still hoping it won't be as cold and wet as it has been the last two.
Marty, the steer, has decided to leave the chicken coops alone for now, but keeps jumping the fence to get in the garden and graze. There's not much in there, except for some corn husks, but it's enough to get his attention. We wouldn't worry about it if it weren't for the cold frames, raised beds, and strawberry plants, but because of those things, ever so often the alarm is sounded, and everyone available has to run outside and chase him out. Marty always joins in the festivities by kicking up his heels and giving everyone a good run around the garden.
Hope you're enjoying the time getting ready for Christmas! It will be here so soon.
