It's been cold this June! I suppose after such a mild start to 2016 the arrival of winter finally, would be a shock. However it feels colder! We've been on the farm for 16 years and it's been a number of years since I've felt so cold. The rain is welcome though and the creeks have slowly started to trickle water onto the dams. My stock of dry wood in the shed is going down as we are burning it all day most days. We'll have to go out and cut some more but it'll be damp so never burns as well. I spend most of the summer preparing for now.
