Well, all you mid-Missouri snow lovers, you got your snow. And now it's gone, leaving the half-frozen, half muddy ground. But don't worry, we still have all of February, so you might get some more.
Yes, hello, I'm back after long month. Lots of things have happened. I'll try to catch you up on them.
First of all, we sold all the puppies. They were adorable, and we were (sort of) sad to see them go, but they went to good homes. We gave one to one of the families from our church. It was the one we named Haelix (see puppy post) and from what they tell me he's fine and growing. Oh, and they renamed him Canaan.
Recently we went down to my grandparents' house to celebrate my sister and younger cousin's birthday.
One of the things she got was The Dragon and the Raven, an audio drama. Its author, G.A. Henty, was a christian writer in the 1800s and his books are really good. They always have good characters and a godly message (as well as being extremely exciting.) We just finished listening to it. It was epic but (spoiler alert) sad too. Look into it.
Here at the farmstead things have been going well. We have been planning next year's garden, taking water to our animals in the cold wind of the morning (I'm not a cold-weather-liking person...can you tell?) and figuring out how to deal with our sheep and goats who think they can just get around the fence my dad and brother put up by walking on the frozen pond. Humph.
We have also been working pretty hard on school work.
This would be a very long post if I continued. Instead I'll just split it into two.
See you on the next one!
