Rain!!!

I woke up yesterday to fog.  Whoa, was it fun.  Mom and I listened to the sound track for Pride and Prejudice and tried to guess where each song was in the movie.  Yesterday I drove home in the  dark and the fog.  I felt like I was in one of those movies set during World War II, one of those movies where you see headlights beaming into the mist.  

We have been working in the greenhouses.  We have learned a bit of handy information, some purchased compost is hydrophobic.  Make sure it will absorb water BEFORE you put it on things.   We didn't know about hydrophobic compost the first time we bought it.  We spread it in one of our greenhouses and it is struggling to get water. Oh well!

SNOW!

It snowed!  Just in time for Christmas.  We only got about an inch, but it is beautiful.  Murphy, our new dog, has never seen snow before.  While it was snowing he sat on the porch with his mouth wide open and tongue licking trying to catch the flakes.  Then he walked around licking the snow off the ground.  He is pretty cute. In my family it is a sort of tradition (we do it some years) to read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens before Christmas.  We didn't this year, but I revisited some of my favorite parts, the last stave, the "mankind was my business" speech and some of the parts with the ghost of Christmas Present.  It was a lovely visit back to old favorites. Merry Christmas to you all!   

Naps in the Sunshine

Happy November everyone!   I've had a cold over the weekend, but things are looking up.  I had a nap in the sunshine with our house kitty, Muffin.  It was just what the doctor ordered.   We got cats pretty soon after moving to the farm.  A farm isn't complete without it's felines!  Now we have four cats, one at the house and three down to the barn.  The barn kitties are Mitten, Betsy and Rusty. Rusty is Murphy's pal.  Murphy licks Rusty and follows him around the barn yard.  It's pretty cute:)  Hope all is well with ya'll.  Have a wonderful Tuesday.
