Dreary days.


Today I'm going to start by telling you what I'm listening to:

Deja vu by Crosby, Stills, & Nash. It's an old 1970's record. It's fantastic, and I think I just heard something about getting to Woodstock (ummm?).  Fortunately my whole family gets to enjoy it, because I have it blaring in our study room- and trust me, it's loud.   In my defense though, it's only so loud because only one speaker for the record player works if you don't have it loud enough, and then the sound is off centered and it drives my OCD self nuts. 

School was cancelled today due to icy roads. I think it was a good call because I was close to yanking back out my hockey skates and skating on our gravel driveway. If you didn't catch what I was trying to say there, it was really really icy. I didn't mind though, I mean, school was cancelled! It has been a day perfect for listening to old records and drinking tea. I even got to go to my grandmas and help her with a few things then relive my childhood watching "Annie" with Kate.

 Rainy, dreary, icy days make me want to cuddle and read. 
Nothing more.

Eustace

        This time of year, when the mornings are chilly and the rain is sometimes snow, is always the time of new things. Spring is when the grass is the brightest, purest shade of green, the flowers are peeping open, and the sun rays are finally beginning to warm your skin. It also means that babies are everywhere: baby birds, kittens, and calves. For us spring is also a synonym of calving season! Our cows are starting to have their calves. So far this week we have had three adorable babies out in the field. One of them was even up long enough for me to take pictures of it. I'm pretty special.

World: I'd like you to meet Eustace (tis a she). 





Proud mama
