not a very late morning


We have had two glorious days of No Snow and No Rain.
Also No Sun, but one cannot have everything.

 I got a lot done on both days, which was very satisfying indeed.
There's nothing like a reprieve in the middle of tough weather, to make a person get out there and move til you can't move any further, and be very grateful for the opportunity to do so.


 And now, we've got this happening, as predicted:


Happily, I was able to take delivery of 50 bales of very nice-looking hay yesterday, in the ONE DAY between the ground being too soft for the big truck to turn at the top of the driveway and this new snow which would have prevented the truck from getting up the driveway in the first place.
Huzzah!

Very late last night I went out with a flashlight and did an extra round of chores, thinking I just might be able to have a lazy, slow start to a snowy day today.
Piper likes a late morning herself, so she was fine with it.
However, Moxie and Della made it very clear that a late start to the day
is the nuttiest idea they have ever heard.

Oh well. It was worth a try :)

          P.S.
In Daily Markmaking news, the pomegranate continues to inspire.
finally cut into it, and last night painted a bit of the interior view:

  1. I hope you have a life alert device being out there doing chores.
    My sister keeps telling me to get one.

    1. I don't know much about them, but I suspect they are the sort of thing that many people tell other people they ought to have...like colonoscopies and Wills.

    2. Life line device saves lives. One time purchase, signal goes to 911 help.

  2. I'm so happy you got the hay delivered. I often feel concerned about your workload, despite your expertise and experience, and I feel relief when things go well.

    1. You and me, both, Liz! I was practically giddy when the hay truck left.

  3. Hooray! So glad the hay arrived and there were no disasters involved in the process. I'm sure the goats will be quite relieved to know that their food supply is topped up for awhile.

    1. Has it finally stopped? It was still coming down when I did the evening chores.
