Today it will reach 68 degrees, and I slept with the windows open last night.
Winter in Georgia.
Our elderly weimaraner has pneumonia, thanks to age and extreme temp changes. We called the vet and gave her the appropriate medicines. Today she is acting her normal self again.
Last weeks cold weather required extra hay for the cows, however Devin wasn't here to get hay from the barn. Luckily I had several friends offer to help.
This week Devin gave me a lesson in how to drive the tractor and use the hay spike.
I can add this to my list of things I can now do on my own, and hopefully we will have enough hay to get through winter. The weather looks to be warm over the next 10 days and that will help.
Zeb bought a racing dominos set with his Christmas money. This set has 1000 pieces and I confess we had fun playing with it over several days. Hands on learning!
We cleared the dining table off and let these dominoes stay out. We all took turns building configurations to knock down. I imagine this will be up there with wooden building blocks as a toy that is enjoyed for many, many years.
I've knitted many things but never socks. I have always wanted to learn sock knitting.
I love sock yarns! This year I decided to take an online sock knitting class and Journee is joining me. This will either be a really fun class or a frustrating nightmare.
Stayed tuned for verdict.
I have taken classes before on Craftsy before and enjoyed them. The instructor for this class seems really good too, so I am betting it is a good class.
Today is my day to finally get my house and projects in order. I chuckle at that statement, but I really still feel disorganized and fog brained since having the baby.
Maybe today I will get everything back in order......just maybe. Maybe not.
Happy Saturday Ya'll!

A great blog! I always enjoy them! I really like seeing the pictures you post, too. I remember the foggy-feeling-after-baby days! I managed to get clothes washed, new baby nursed and food on the table for the rest of us; 2 adults & 7 kids. I was foggy for at least 5-6 months, then one day it was like the sun popped out from behind the clouds! I remenber thinking 'Thank you Lord!'

ReplyDeleteLike Nan, I remember that baby fog! For me it was when the middle one was 7mths and one night I was able to serve up a 4 dish curry banquet for my family ( Indian food is our favourite to recreate! ) . That day I so clearly rember thinking, yeah! I'm back!! That kid is now 9 lol interestingly, my youngest is six, and finally my body and mind feel completely back to normal. It took 6 years for that. Not so foggy like with the baby, but, I'm finally feeling like I'm just a regular person.
ReplyDeleteLove the racing dominos and kudos to you with learning to drive that tractor and fetch hay! Love reading your blog :)
