Things have been a bit busy here lately, and I can’t seem to take the time to sit down and post. I don’t know how people post every day. I sort of have to be “in the mood”. But, it has been TOO long, so here goes.. Read the rest of this entry »

Who’d have thought, after that mild winter we just had, that we’d be dealing with snow, wild wind gusts of 48 mph, and a wind chill of 16 degrees!!! In May!!!!! But that is what’s currently happening… Read the rest of this entry »

Here we are, only 9 days till Christmas. Do you have your shopping done? I DON’T. And neither do the sheep. Well, I take that back. Madison and Lydia are “cooking” something in their ovens and will present their gifts in the spring. The others also will give their WOOLY gifts to us in the form of fleeces in the spring as well.

I have been very busy lately so haven’t posted anything. My husband says my blog is “stale”. I guess in blog talk that means I haven’t posted anything lately and people will lose interest.

Today is the second time we started the day being greeted by a fresh blanket of snow. This time, however, it was accompanied with fog all day and general wetness outside. No sun today at all, no sky today at all, just fog. Guess that’s what happens when the clouds move into your neighborhood!
