The cold has settled back after one day of a teasingly warm 40 degrees! I keep hearing rumors of more snow, but since I keep forgetting to check the weather on the computer, I have no idea if the rumors are even true. Spring must be coming soon? Groundhog's Day is a mere week away!
Our firewood supply had been dwindling since Sam hurt his back and I had split what I could. Thankfully we have been blessed with borrowing a friend's log splitter. With the girls dragging the chunks from the woods on sleds, we have refilled the woodshed with enough wood to last a few more weeks.
Tonight's dinner is Chicken with dumplings and then Sam and I are off on a romantic date: we're going food shopping at Wal-mart in Lisbon. I tell 'ya, we sure know how to have a good time! We might splurge and split a vanilla chai from Dunkin Donuts!
Sam has his appointment with the specialist for his back on Thursday. Hopefully then he will get the okay to go back to work. In some ways it will be nice to get back to a normal schedule. Whatever that is?

Back to Work!
Last night's 4H meeting went well. We had 20 kids show up to fill out registration paperwork. There were two others who informed me that they weren't able to attend but wanted to join. So our club is now probably about 25 kids.
The kids voted to sell chocolate bars around Christmas time. It was a succesful fundraiser last year. We shall see how it goes this year.
They also voted for their club president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, and treasurer. It looks like a good crew this year who are eager to get some work done and be active in the club.
Sam took today off from both jobs so that we can get some firewood stacked away in the wood shed. We haven't yet fired up the woodstove, but that day is fast approaching! I am looking forward to it. I cook a lot of things on the woodstove in the winter. Nothing like Hamburger soup simmering away to fill the house with lovely smells!
Sam will also be winterizing the camper today. He also needs to add some tie-ups to the upper barn for when we move all the does into the upper pasture for the winter.
I have to finish sewing dresses for Abby. She has outgrown nearly everything in her closet. Her feet are larger than mine and she is as tall as I am! Nathalie thankfully fits into most of her outgrown clothes, but I will make her a few new desses and skirts too.
So, after a fun long weekend, it's back to work for everyone!
