Preparing.


Preparing to head home for a nice long vacation-twelve whole days, in fact. Not all of of those twelve will be spent in Wesleytown, as I'll be heading down to New England for a few days to celebrate New Years, before making my way back here to Vermont.  


Most of my days lately have been looking like above. Bundling up to brave the cold, snow, wind and head off to work. 

We have had both the wood stove and the wood cook stove burning away all day long, not just to heat the house, but also to heat up our clothing prior to working. 


In what spare time I've had (and that has not been much, mind you!), I've been knitting a new scarf out of that lovely blue. It has been years since I have knit myself a new one and I think it is about high time to replace my well-used and well-loved green one. 


Oh, by the way I found this picture on my phone and thought that it deserved a place here.
This is our bull. That we have at the farm. A great big Devon. Despite the fact that he is terrifyingly big, he also is completely harmless and rather a wimp. 

And below, we have the sheep. They venture forward to say hello at feeding time, and then at the slightest move, all take off running again. Here they stayed still just long enough for a picture.
