I hope alot of folks read through this first. Lots of information but it's a behemoth to get through. And short attention spans will ask the same questions. (me with my hand in the air-LOL) I'm here to help answer questions. WE've had a TON of moisture this summer though. If it translates to snow this winter. I'll be well above my keister in snow.

I have had to walk in snow that was above my keister.... Slow.....and you get tired fast.

That's what snowshoes are for.

They do NOT glide effortlessly over the top of the deep snow banks.


nope.

harvested and drying out my sunflower heads for treats this winter. Did it last year and the heads provided quality entertainment for the girls when you tossed in one of them.
