Last night I started a swatch and this morning I did another. I am now set to work on the Oregon vest this weekend; hurray!You might think me an old fuddy-duddy for all the indoor activities I'm assembling for our "family snow camp" adventure, but I have my reasons. #1 - it doesn't sound like the snow is going to be much fun; mostly slushy yuck. #2 - last night while going over chores with the person who will be doing them for us while we are gone, I tripped over the blade attached to the tractor and crashed into the hitch, badly bruising my ribs, shin and both arms. The miracle is that I didn't hit my head; I think my guardian angel protected me! I remember thinking as I went down that I was going to do a face-plant into the back end of the tractor or the three-point hitch, and I still can't figure out how I managed to land and get the bruises I sustained and NOT hit my head or face on anything. At any rate, I'm pretty sore and bouncing down a hill on an inner tube would be torture.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. February is going to be a flurry of extra activity here. The henhouse has to be stripped and rebedded; pullets need to have their wings clipped and be moved into the henhouse; the sheep fold (especially the pullet corner!) needs to be stripped and readied for lambing; fleece samples need to be taken before shearing on the 15th, then fleeces will need to be skirted; Russell and I need to keep working so we won't embarrass ourselves at our first show in two years - all while keeping up with homeschool, home business, home-making, etc.
That's it for now from . . .
