I’m sure everyone is tired of pictures of the snow, but I have to post these last few… then I’ll stop. I promise.
Since the first big snow last week, we get around the yard and pasture with a series of trails we have cut through the drifts. This is a picture of R shoveling out […]

It’s still snowing hard here, but I think the blizzard is over (the wind isn’t as fierce). I thought my warm climate friends might enjoy a picture post… (You can either wish you were here, or count your blessings that you’re not!)
This is first thing this morning, in the barn. The barn doors were closed, […]

It’s been blizzarding here since this morning, and the wind is still howling down the chimney and sending the frozen snowflakes into the side of the house with such force that it sounds like sand hitting the house. The last time I checked the weather it said to expect the storm to hang around through […]

This post is for my dear sister, who asked to see pictures of the marvelous goat coats I made for Betty and Rose. It’s pretty cold here (in the teens last night) so my “girls” got to try out their new winter wear…
Here’s Rose, I think she’s a pretty good model…
Here’s Betty who was too […]

Things here have been moving along pretty well, and despite the holiday excitement the kids are getting school done each day. We are going to take a week off though, I can’t decide whether we should take next week off (giving me extra time to get the last few things done before Christmas) or take […]

R has been in heaven since yesterday morning when they delivered Stormy to our house. Stormy wasn’t quite as excited about being left here (and had a couple of hours of horse-y panic… running back and forth along the fence and watching for them to come back and get her!) but she’s calmed down now […]

I feel like my posts lately have focused mainly on the problems the kids have had… So I thought it was time to write about some of the good things that have been going on around here.
After hearing that a friend from the homeschool group is volunteering at our local library, M took the […]

Warning: This is a long and depressing post…read at your own risk!
We put up the tree today… (we did go to a Christmas Tree Farm to cut it, which was fun… but I forgot the camera at home so they’ll be no pictures). Anyway, as we put it up I found myself slipping into a […]

…Taffy’s blog this morning and read her entry “you know it’s cold when…” and decided that given we (here in Colorado) are still in the deep freeze, I would start my own list.
You know it’s cold when:
1. Literally everything that’s outside is covered with frost.
2. The inside of your nose freezes just on the […]
