Weekend Down on the Farm

The weekend has been cold but cozy.  Saturday a day at home, filled with cleaning and chores. Will had to load the cellar with some wood to keep our wood stove busy.

Remember the chicks and how cute they were a short time ago?  Well, ugliness has set in.

They used to look like this:

Now they look like this.  They grow up so fast!

Farmer boy was feeling the need to cut more wood, and so he did.  I love his fashion sense.

Elizabeth and Kelli removed a big pile of this out of the chicken coop. Yes, Holly is about to eat it.  It's one of her favorites.

 Farmer boy got a fire going for us and we worked on our Christmas cards.

Kelli baked delicious cookies and I baked delicious bread.

The wind started picking up at about 7:00 pm.  It was angry and cruel.  I snuggled in to Farmer Boy and told him I was scared another tree was going to fall on the house.  After our summer of natural disasters I guess I'm more frightened.  My sweet husband, held my hand and prayed that we'd make it through the night.  After two wake up calls by the carbon monoxide detector, a visit by the fireman to see what was going on, it was time to get on with Sunday.  Church had been cancelled because the wind was still whipping and the roads were slippery.  Time to go out and survey our world.

More fashion sense!

The weather is outside is frightful, booger freezing frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and so are the cookies.  Hope you all had a good weekend.
