Snow Days!

~ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times~ We have *mostly* enjoyed being snowed in together  (on and off) over the last couple of weeks.  We have built forts out of blankets, played in the snow a little, done quite a bit of cooking and baking, and played some games.  We are also VERY thankful for the moisture the snow provides.  But all this togetherness is starting to get to us.  Libby was just heard telling her brother, and I quote "don't make me lose or I will get angry, and you know how I have anger problems"  ???should I be worried???  There have also been gun battles and threats of murder around our house this morning.  Maybe we should get outside? 

Daddy is outside.  See that tiny little spot back there.  That is him trying to get to the tractor by hiking in thigh deep snow across the pasture so he can feed hay.  We are also very thankful we haven't had any calves in this storm.  I firmly told those girls they weren't to be birthin' any babies in a blizzard.  At least somebody listens to me around here. 




I know spring is just around the corner and I don't want to wish away any time with my kiddo's while they are still little but...I am ready for warmer weather! 

Now on to another subject.  I wanted to share a few photos I took around the farm last fall on a beautiful autumn evening just before sunset.  Ahh. 

Beautiful fall colors @ Grandma and Papa's house

A river runs through it...err a ...A creek (a.k.a. crick) runs through it

Hello there ladies!

That's it for now!  I think I hear my children calling me.  I hope they haven't devised a plan to tie me up or something.  Wish me luck!
