Farmers in the Winter

We are done for the year. Well, kinda. There are still trucks and tractors to be worked on, potatoes to move (which means sell), and a few other odds and ends. Also, some small home-improvement projects (yay!). 

I get asked a lot what a farmer does in the winter. We don't have any livestock, so we have more freedom than, say, a dairy farmer. Mike has a bit of extra free time. We usually do a family trip or two. We also ski. A lot. Mike went up 3 times last week. Three, people. I don't mind (most of the time), and it's so great for him because in the summers, he is so busy. Mike and I also went on our first big trip since our honeymoon, 7 years ago. It was so nice for both of us to get away from work and kids for a bit. Here are some pictures of our off season, so far.

 The Huskinsons are grateful for skiing. 

See?

It has been a good off season so far. And fingers crossed it only gets better!
