While everyone else around was getting blasted with snow, we had rain, wind and sleet today, nothing white on the ground here. Instead, it looks like this:
Taken this evening
The corrals are a bit of a mess; but there is a high side to each pen with the drainage through the middle, and shelter for all the critters.
We had the leaf blower out the other day, trying to get the yard cleaned up before the snow does come to stay. I still have a few flowers bravely hanging on,
but I think their days are numbered. Tomorrow, I take the kittens down to Bonners Ferry to the vet for their first shots and a checkup. Saturday, team sorting starts again, but I probably won't be taking Beamer this year until his saddle is built. I may go to watch and help out though.
I did manage to get all my tomatoes used up, this is the last batch of salsa which I made the other day.
This yucky weather is supposed to be here for the next few days, so I guess I'll have to do some indoor projects. I want to pick the last of the lavender and make lavender sachets to include in the Christmas gifts for my family, and cat toys stuffed with cat mint for a couple of little hooligan kittens.
Who, us? We hooligans?
Yes Foose, big cats can have some too!

Too bad you missed the snow. I always love it when the ground is blanketed in white.
Eww that wintery S word. Yuck. Go back to Alaska.
Yum, salsa!
See my April 29th, 2010 post on how we worm our animals.
We haven't had much snow here either.
Looks pretty wet there, I love the picture of Foose hugging Pearl! how sweet! Nice talking to you tonight Shirley!
laughing at foose:) we got blasted alright with snow. a good foot of it! buses are having a hard time getting around, cars in the ditch, etc. yup. good ole city drivers! sigh...
Love that first picture. I corrals don't look like fun. Mud is one of my least favorite things! Your cats are too cute.
Foose is one big kitty, love the last shot. Stay warm..:-)
Cute cats. I'm not sure which is worse the snow or themud.....hmmmm mud at least the critters here are only wet and not black too.Try to stay dry.
yuck, I hate mud, but snow is not much better! I like the cats huggin too cute!
that will probably be us - snow predicted ALL WEEK!!!!!! but a lot of times our drainage just gets passed by while the clouds tease from over the mountains...
BRING IT ON!

Lucky that you've had flowers hanging on so late. Between the lack of rain and the wind, and cold nights, we've not had any flowers since September.
That's great that you've got all your 'maters all canned for the winter. Your salsa looks so different from what we use down here in the SW. Ours tend to have more green, like cilantro, green chile, onion and garlic, sometimes black beans and corn, and is very chunky. Mmmm!
Those kitties are too darn cute. Foose cracks me up!

Love the cats!
