Red Neck Sleddin'

So, I mentioned in the last post that a storm was approaching and we had lots of work to do to prepare. Well, the storm hit late Jan 31 and by the morning of Tuesday Feb 1, we had cold and snow. We got lucky that the ice went south of us. The wind made some drifts of 18" - 24" during the storm that dropped nearly 8" on us. School has been out since Tuesday. We managed to stay nice and toasty inside with no loss of power. The prep work we did has payed off but we did slightly under estimate the amount of hay the horses would go through - evidently the colder it gets, the more they eat.  I did not know this so perhaps I should say, "I" underestimated the amount of hay.  LOL

We needed to move some hay bales today and we decided on a method other than human power.  :-)  I ran a piece of rebar through the middle of the bale and we hooked the chain to it and then to the truck. MUCH easier than pushing it myself! :-)  While outside working, we decided to have some fun as well - we did some red neck sleddin'  - With no hills accessible, we hitched the sled to the truck and ran through the field.

Enjoy the pics of the snow and the fun! :-) OH - do you know what a red necks last words usually are?? Hey y'all, watch this!!  LOL

4 wheeling in the snow is fun!

So, all in all it was a pretty fun day and while we were out having fun, it snowed another inch!!
