Find the Chihuahua

That’s the game we play frequently.  Tesser is the master of disguising herself, making it sometimes difficult to locate her.  When we have conveniently-placed sheets full of fiber on the warm floor, no matter where we place them, she finds them and makes a little indentation on top of one and snuggles in.  You can [...]

Snow day

We finally are having some weather that looks a lot more like the season.  Snow, and plenty of it, is still falling.  They are promising freezing rain, sleet and ice for tonight.  I hope the powers-that-be at least call a delayed opening for tomorrow… I don’t want another trip to work like the last ice [...]

Lambing window 2011 is now closed!

Phew.  My husband called me at work yesterday morning to say that Kate had finally (!) had her lambs about 9 a.m.  A white ewe and a black ram.  They were a little overdue, but they both look great and are doing well.  I am a little surprised at the white lamb as Kate is [...]

More blizzardy days

This one wasn’t a surprise, but even so, yesterday at work we were wondering aloud at lunch what the result would be.  I don’t know why snow days are so special, but they are!  It’s found time, when you really can’t go gadding about.  Staying home is enjoyable.  So today we are playing with Thomas [...]

It’s a white one!

We did get 3 or 4 inches of snow on Wednesday.  I got to work (my farthest school, 26 miles), began to enjoy the staff holiday breakfast, just to get the word that we were going home.  It was an adventure, but not too bad.  The snow really began to add up late in the [...]
