It’s been a long time since I’ve been in this particular spot. I have hit a block wall this week. Generally I can work through it and come up with something to write about, but if you could see into my brain, you would see something that looks exactly like the photo at the left. We’ve kind of been hunkering down for the winter and the holidays. Busy with so many things, but feeling like we’re running around in circles. We’ve been enjoying amazing sunrises and sunsets and have tried to share them with you on our Facebook page, and some here. I’m afraid, all I have for you are photos. Continue reading

Ok, I’ve been on hiatus since Thanksgiving… I know, sorry about that. Some things went on, plus other stuff took my attention. Back now – as much as I ever am. Still, this is going to be a relatively short post, just to share a few photos and such. We’ll go down the days until we get back to present. 
We really like the winter, except the cold and the dark and the wind. Otherwise – it’s wonderful! Seriously, the cooler temperatures during the day are wonderful… but we are not liking the really cold winds that have preceded this next storm. The last rains were more than welcome and the ground is still nice and moist from them. There is an incredibly slight chance that we will get snow sometime in the next few days, but – for Dad’s sake – we’re asking it to hold off. Hasn’t stopped the winterizing tasks though, as we had several things still to do. 
It had certainly been an interesting few days. I was just telling Sue that it feels more like a Friday than a Saturday. We did some interesting things still, though. 
…winter isn’t coming, it’s already here! So, I knit and I read, so after I read the “Game of Thrones” I chuckled heartily when this little phrase started popping up all over after the series started to air. I always try to knit faster, but I’m easily distracted. Now winter has arrived with truly gale force winds heralding its frigid arrival. 
Oh no! It has officially become “that time of year”. That time of year when we make a huge personal sacrifice so that our customers can continue to purchase fresh eggs. WE BUY THEM! Can you believe that??? 
Today we had time for a little project this morning, after chores (and a few sips of coffee). Our littles need to be moving down and out to make room for the new littles coming soon. For a while now Sue has wanted to put a door that goes directly to the bottom brooder so that we can let them have their own indoor/outdoor access without the biggies chasing them. So, we did the very first steps today. 
You know how sometimes I get distracted by going down worm holes looking for images to match my title? Well, happened again today. I thought I would be a great idea to have a small bottle of ketchup to go with the title. Then I went the “catsup” vs. “ketchup” route. There is a great deal of energy surrounding that controversy. I decided to stay clear of it an use a photo with both spelling…I think it’s funny, all on its own. Anyway – wanted to do a bit a “ketchup” today, but only regarding the farm. If you want to delve into the difference between “ketchup” and “catsup”… here’s a 
I had a change of program this week, switched my Monday and Tuesday work schedule around, and I haven’t been the same since. I probably should have posted on Monday, but that would have been odd all around. Here is the makeup post for this week :).
