Mother Nature's Ulterior Motive

I am beginning to think that Mother Nature sends these winter storms just to keep me on top of my chores.  In the past few days we have stocked up; we visited the feed store, the grocery store, ordered dog food online, and had a load of straw and hay delivered. 

Under foreboding skies, I have cleaned out all the barns and we have loaded up our hay lofts and filled up all our grain bins. 

Our farmyard family is now fed, watered and has a thick, dry bed of straw on which to wait out the rain.  We are ready and waiting for the awful weather to begin.  We have no where to be and are well prepared for whatever Mother Nature has in store for us over the weekend.
