Corn = Heat

Today we wrote a check for 360$ for about 2 tons of corn. The goal is to make this last thru the winter. Sherm built a large bin in the cellar to hold all the corn, which was delivered today. Up until now, we were buying our corn by the 100 pound bag at the Co-op. The price literally doubled last season from Sept/Oct to May. Also, the 100 lb bag factor meant at the very most I could stop and pick up corn, but was dependent upon Sherm to lug it down the icy steps into the cellar.

Had our first major snow storm last nite, around 8-10 inches, snow day for both of us today, which was awesome. We both got a lot done. The chickens are now happily housed up with the sheep, and we have been collecting about 3 eggs per day. The cats are happy in their new home down in the cellar, guarding our corn from the mice.
