Seasons change overnight...

Around here. Happens every year.

Yesterday was the last we'll be seeing of above freezing temps for at least a week in most of Montana. It was in the 70s earlier this week, yesterday it got up to +50F, when I went to bed at 11pm it was +32F and beginning to snow.

This morning is blowing snow and in the low +20s. We are in a Winter Storm Warning and expecting 6-12 inches of snow today. By Thursday we'll be in the single digits above zero and maybe see high temps above freezing mid week next week, maybe.

Winter is here, right now, gonna be a chilly Halloween.

Anything not harvested when this thing gets to you is done. I said good-bye to all my outdoor plants yesterday and thanked them for being troopers. I pulled the tomatoes Sunday, there was no sense in trying to protect them from this storm followed by serious cold for almost a week.

Glad I got my winter woolies out last weekend!

I don’t keep the nuts..that’s what fields are for…final resting places for nuts…works in a few different ways. Not English walnuts…we have the Black ones lots of work to get a little meat. I let people know they are free if anyone wants …come and get ‘em. No takers..there are lots of Black Walnut trees ‘round here.
Way too much work…love Black Walnut ice cream tho…just let someone else do the work.
