Winter creeps onto the farm

    We can often see bad weather coming from atop the always-windy Indiantree hill a mile north of Walnut Creek.
    Most times, it comes at us from the west side of the big red barn, out of the southwest. Today was no different. Today's full cocktail of rain, ice and snow hit us from around the barn like a round-house punch.
    It's a good day to sit by the fire and be glad that, unlike our Amish neighbors, we have no cows to milk.
