Gotta Love Missouri Weather!

Well, this week has started off with a real bang. Our place was covered in a blanket of fresh white stuff over the weekend along with the rest of the surrounding area. The joys of living on top of a hill are 1.) North winds...awesomely bad on a snowy day and 2.) having a driveway that looks like a freshly iced cake from those north winds.

This artwork is of Bret's truck as he attempted to make it out of the drive. I'll title this- "I should've listened to my wife and driven in the field" 

His words were, "I didn't think it would be that bad!" I did the proper thing and watched and laughed from the comfort of our living room.

Brandon came to the rescue with the tractor and dug him out and they were off and on with the rest of their day.

Here is a pic of the first of 12 high tunnels going up this week. It's spring prep time for the vegetables and every break in the weather has to be taken advantage of. The process of covering the high tunnels is long and exhausting. Especially when you have to wade through mud to get the task complete. It's a good thing the end product is well worth the work it takes. And is a welcomed sign of warmer weather on it's way.
