Welcome to our 1864 farmhouse…life is good!


Wednesday, March 26

is it winter break or spring break?


Mother Nature is at it again...
she insists on playing tricks, as if she has no idea it's officially spring. 

And while this was the lovely sunset we enjoyed at day's end...



this was how it looked throughout the day. The snow began falling softly at first...it was oh-so pretty. You know the kind of snow...it drifts down gently bringing sweet dreams of a day spent in front of a crackling fire with a good book. Then, I watched it begin falling harder, bringing a chilly wind along to keep it company.

 

And yet, windy as it was, nothing kept our faithful guard dog from seeing what was going on. Truly, I think even she was stunned by this sudden snowfall.


The chickens were nowhere to be seen. I felt sorry for them as the snow continued to blow straight up the ramp and into the coop. Glad I hadn't packed away my Carhartt coat just yet,
I slipped it on, tossed the girls a little scratch, and tucked them in early...I think they were grateful.



And so it goes...

Soon, I'll be grumbling about the heat & humidity and will wish for these days. (Secretly, I'll take a few more like this...I know, I know, let the tomato-throwing begin! But my best-laid plans for spring cleaning are falling more than a bit behind, and I could desperately use more time! )

So what's my thought for the day?

  1. You have certainly had more than your share of snow this year, although it is pretty from an outsider's view. I am Spring cleaning around here as well, and there is never enough time! Enjoy your weekend.

    1. And you know what the temperature is now? 51 degrees! Amazing turn! I just took the ferns outside to get some rain and fresh air, opened the windows, and actually turned off the furnace for the first time since November! Now...back to that spring cleaning...hoping yours goes quickly!
