I love your new shelves...
But that old pantry with the tiny openings would drive me nuts... I would rip the front face off.
But then I also have zero closet doors. I hate storage behind doors. Doors eat up so much space.

Anytime I talk to the younger cattle, to try and gain their trust. T-Bone's gotta get his neck pats and behind his ears scratched. You would think the younger ones would follow his lead. But no, I have to win their trust one by one.
My wife said aww... and showed me a picture of Ribeye and T-Bone from when we first got them. They were about the size of romeo.
Well T-Bone ain't so little anymore See T-Bone coming up in the rear. He started off growing slow, but he grew a lot late summer into fall, during the drought even. Now it's the beginning of winter and he's a big steer.
I was finally able to treat romeo with pour on cattle ivermectin. He seems good and healthy.

@tortoise we have the generator all gassed up here, but haven't had to use it in the winter yet--we did use it twice this summer after a couple storms. Road were junk last night, we went to plow at our property 10 min north and I ended up having to push out DH's vehicle from the driveway and pull him up a hill that he got stuck on (good ole Subaru!)
Kids have another late start today--day 3. We have about 9 inches of the heavy wet snow, looks pretty but that is about it. Going to get COLD here starting tomorrow, we have projected highs of 0F-yep 0F for highs. DD8 said that is not a high! haha

That weather would mean closure of schools here...and most everything else
. Yeah, BAD temps. BAD snow. Hard to do chores. Heated water tubes for sure....lotta prayers to get melted!!
I just couldn't do that weather. Nope.
40 here, going to low to mid 50s. Pretty average this time of year. Colder Jan/Feb ... 30-40 days are average. All I want/can handle.

Wow, your cold is hitting fast. We have 2 days with highs in the 20's before the single digits and below-zero lows. Today will be colder than yesterday's forecast predicted. Bummer, that makes animal chores more difficult.
