As we close on 2023, I am reminded of this time last year. We had a big storm that brought freezing temperatures, ice, etc.. It was so bad we had to relocate Christmas Eve dinner to Jennifer's because our pipes were frozen. BUT this year is completely different. The temperatures are in the 50-60s and are expected to remain in this range into the new year.
The leaves have fallen or are falling from the trees. The sky is gray in anticipation of rain. We are in great need of a good soaking rain. We'll see how things shake out in the next couple of days...
We have two new heifers, Brillante and Thanksgiving. Guess who was born on the holiday? Guess which holiday? Both are doing well and are full of calfness.
With the warm temperatures and the dry summer, we have been overrun by scorpions! Killing 10 in a day is not unusual. Our pest control guy is doing his best, but unless he sprays something strong enough to kill everything including the humans, we're stuck!!!!
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
