Surprise Delivery ~ Just for Me
The birds are singing this morning. What a nice thing to wake up too. It sounds so peaceful out there. It's a good day to let the ladies out and clean the coop too. They will be so happy to be out and about today. My 15 year-old opened the door and smiled, "it sounds like spring out there."
Yesterday, I was just finishing up my lunch, when a van pulled in. My Hubby surprised me with red roses.

Slip Sliding Sled
Where there is a will, there is a way,
my Mom always said.
I hauled my wood and chicken feed,
The funny part is,
that I almost fell.
But I saved myself quick
and all is well.

Cooking from Storage ~ Pasta e Fagioli
Oldest Daughter was pretty sick, and is still sick. I whipped up a batch of homemade ginger ale for her, and that is the only thing she could keep down. Thankfully, I had all the ingredients, aside from lime juice, to make it.
I offered her elixir, but she said no. Her fever continued all day. She was the only one who had a flu shot too. She's miserable.
I'm sanitizing just in case. Not that I don't, but just being extra careful.

Using it Up ~ Goat Coats
With all the kiddos home yesterday, and the outside temperatures chilly, I used up four apples that where getting too soft to enjoy.

An apple in my pocket ~ The iPod eating box ~ Floor Rug
School closed today, so watch out. This post will be a doozy. I've got a pot of coffee all to myself, and all the kids are still in bed.
I guess, although we are to warm up to the 38°F, they are predicting ice covered roads until noon today.
Aside from animal feed, which I may run out before the end of the week, I'm declaring this week a no-spend week. Toilet paper is stocked up so we are good in that department.

Sunday Coffee Hour
The snow is arriving slowly. I am so glad there is no wind as well. It will be interesting, at nightfall, to see how much we actually get. You know how word spreads, right? The news said 2-5 inches. I heard up to 8 inches via word of mouth.
Guess who visited us last night?
