A little bit of this and that

I should have been working on this over the winter, but there just never seems to be time.  So in the last few days while our grandson was home with us (a stomach bug), I worked on some cheese equipment organization, some new flavors of cream cheese, and ended up making a bigger mess than [...]

Extended winter break

Slush and rain.  A little snow.  Horrible roads.  School canceled.  So today got off to an auspicious start (!), but my eye problem re-surfaced and I couldn’t see anything for hours this morning (when I opened my eyes this morning my eye felt like I had just been hit again).  I couldn’t get an appointment [...]

Chore morning and Spa day update

Yesterday was a clear, cold and beautiful day.  After being shorn last Sunday, the sheep have been alternately locked into their greenhouse to sit out the bad weather, and at least one or two days last week we let them out to have their hay in the paddock.  Friday’s 8″ snow was so crazy that [...]

Knitting, vacation and more snow

Vacation week can almost be considered over.  After a fantastic start with a wonderful day of shearing and good company this past Sunday, I have spent the rest of the week at home with a head cold on top of an upper respiratory I already had.  Nice to be able to hang out and recuperate, [...]

Happy Hanukkah 2010

It’s the fifth night of Hanukkah and I finally got around to making latkes.  Grease and starch… can’t get any better comfort food than that!  Sawyer has been down with strep, so we have been doing a lot of cuddling and reading books this weekend.  And I am still feeling blah from being sick for [...]

A good day

It has been quite a weekend so far.  I have been knocked down by allergies and allergic rash and not really been myself this past week.  The antihistamine my dr. says will help turned me into a zombie with a cotton brain.  Today is the first day I am out from under the effects (after [...]

It can always be worse

Another crazy week.  On Saturday the rain was incredibly nasty and the temperature plummeted.  John got a wonderful fire going in the fireplace and I was feeling down with a cold, so I gave myself permission to sit in front of the fire with a few good books and the chihuahua and jack russell on [...]
