Spring...Interrupted
We interrupt Springtime to bring you a brief message from our sponsor...
Old Man Winter!
Seriously, a lot of you commented that you had snow.
Thankfully, yesterday, we had rain...
lots of rain.
Our day was spent inside, except for those times that we were out
tending to the animals.
Heated waterers and heat lamps were turned back on,
as the next several nights are to be below freezing.
Brrrrrrrr.......
I can't tell you how many times I played fetch with this little girl...
Indoor play was the day's activity...
except for a brief doggie nap time that allowed me to finish this summer
scarf that I have been knitting.
It is knitted from a cotton/cashmere yarn that I just love.
I love it so much that I just started another in a different color palette.
Looks like Spring chores are on hold for a couple of days.
But that's ok...I have a long list of indoor chores that need tending!
PS: I may have mentioned yesterday that Annie is a holy terror.
Actually, she is really a great little pup....no accidents in the house, sleeps through the night, etc.
What I was referring to is that she has become quite comfortable with her new home,
and is truly acting like a puppy.
She steals shoes every chance she gets, as well as laundry,
and tears around the house like she's possessed!
Non-stop fun, fun, fun!!

Monday Drivel
I'll guess you won't be surprised when I tell you that it is still cold here. And Sunday graced us with more snow. Which we needed...just to top off all the ice. Every step we take outside is treacherous.I can't tell you how many falls...

Indoor Gardening
With the arrival of the new year,we have been plunged into frigid winter weather...at least for the time being. Dressing to go out to do farm chores reminds me of how my Mom used to bundle me up to play in the snow when I was a very little girl.I have...
