It's beginning to look a lot like....

Woke up to a winter wonderland this morning.  All of the trees are covered in white and are just beautiful.  It promises to be a warm day, 30 degrees later on. 


Farm update:  My honey and my son went early this morning to look at a batch of Angus heifers.  We're thinking of buying about six to go with the others we have.  We picked up an Alpine buck, just to borrow, to breed our Alpine does.  We'll have milk this spring!  I'm going to try to clean out more of the barn today and put up a new feeder for the goats.  Dh put in a frost free waterer so now I'll just make a few fence repairs and bring the animals around to it so we don't have to water cattle or horses anymore.


Crafting:  I'm almost done with a pair of mittens, then I have socks to knit and dresses to sew.  I have quite a list of homemade presents to get done.  I really like this kind of "work" though.


House:  My honey put in a new window on Thanksgiving.  It faces south in the new kitchen and brings the sun right to me as I'm doing dishes.  I really like it.  We have three more windows to put in the new addtition before we can side it.  No hurry.


Our Thanksgiving was truly blessed.  I hope yours was too.  A grateful heart is the secret to joy with God.

I love the last sentence, so true!

You will really enjoy having the water handy this winter. Our hydrant right by the barn is broken........not good. We worked all day yesterday cleaning out some of our barn area so our goats will have more room this winter too.
