Winter Storm Prep on the Ranch

The calm before the storm. The period of unusual tranquility or stability that precedes difficult times. We're forecast for another winter storm complete with freezing rain, snow, wind, and all the fixin's. But we had a day where not a breeze was blowing, the sun was shining, and it was down ...

This one - she doesn't love all the things creepy crawly. She's not interested in honing her ... READ the POST
