Ready for Winter?

Gosh, last week we had two snowstorms, the 1st left 3" at my house, the 2nd left over a foot! Now, the ground is bare except in a few shady spots. Thankfully, we didn't loose power - I understand some places are on day seven without power, ugh. Certainly was quite a Halloween "trick", the only treat was in the beauty. As much as I didn't want it, new fallen snow is lovely.

I still have outdoor chores that I would like to see done before winter sets in, so I'll gladly take any sunny days we are given. The goats need a better configuration of their fencing, the yard could use scraping, followed by new fill. MaaMaa goat needs to find a handsome buck so we have fresh milk in the spring. The shed should be cleaned out & re-organized (been saying that since spring). Chicken coop needs attention, the old birds should go elsewhere. Winterizing should happen, I'm sure you all have a similar list, or maybe you are better prepared for the cold season, or maybe you live in the South and your preparations were for hurricane season instead.
