[…] Getting prepared is the best defense against problems that arise. Winter comes to us every single year, and it shouldn’t take anyone by surprise, but it still does. Grow, Pray and Build has a great post on how to prepare for winter here! […]

Jerri,
You’re so right…it DOES feel like it was just Summer. Winter always comes sooner than you expect. Here in New York, we had our first real snowfall by mid-November last year, so I fully expect to see the “white stuff” soon. On that same note, though…it’ll only be a couple of months before it’s time to start thinking about planting the Spring garden. Life in general just moves so quickly!

It seems like it was just summer and it’s already easy to feel winter blowing in. I’m not ready for it mentally but as for food, firewood and such, it’s all done. Maybe I’ll be allowed to ease into it this year.

Thanks so much for adding this to From The Farm! This is so timely for us, as winter is rapidly approaching and so many do not realize that being prepared could totally save them in the event they are stuck in the snow for 4 hours, waiting to be towed (that happened to us ONCE)
I chose this as this week’s favorite!
