I know every year we say it when the first snow comes, but this snow really is earlier than usual. The average date of the first snowfall in Rochester is November 8th, I woke up to a winter wonderland October 18th, and was less than thrilled, but decided to make the best of a chilly …
So this weekend the family and I actually got off the farm. That’s right, we got the corn picked and delivered and skedaddled out of town before the phone had a chance to ring, or anyone could stop by looking for more. And guess what? It was glorious. As you can imagine we don’t pack up …
