- When 20 Degrees Feels Like A Heatwave....

Is The Sun Still Out There?
Damp, dreary, gray, foggy, mucky, melty days.
We've had a few of them in a row.
And this is as good as it got....
all weekend...
soggy-foggy.
The temperatures are a bit warmer this week for the time being,
so our snow is melting quickly.
With the exception of one area of our farm....
our apple orchard...
Siberia, as I love calling it...
seems to have its very own little micro-climate...
several degrees colder than the rest of the world.
It's true...
and weird.
It happens every winter.
It might be Spring-like all over the farm...
but it's Winter in the orchard... for...ever! (it seems)
It was the perfect weekend for baking...
scones.
And sewing...
more of this quilt.
And making lip balm...
Amanda and I poured about 20 of these tins.
We are planning on pouring our lip balm
(made with our own bees wax and other moisturizing ingredients)
in kraft paper (recyclable) tubes next week.
I've also been making a bunch of these little lined, zippered pouches...
They are the perfect size for a cell phone, or small camera,
credit cards and money.
Sadly, we were unable to see Tyler this weekend,
as he was at home with a stomach virus.
By Sunday, his mommy had succumbed to the same virus.
We are hoping both will be well and able to come for a farm visit next weekend.
