I tried a few days ago to post but things interrupted. I will try again this morning.
Granddaughter is still sleeping; DH is doing chores; bread is rising so I am hoping I can get done. (just had to stop and punch down dough and make into loaves).
Winter has arrived as promised. We are in the 3 inch zone but if it keeps this up, we may get more. It makes everything look beautiful but I don't have to be outside in it.
DH is doing his cow duties in more comfort. We found a very clean and hopefully sound 3/4 ton farm truck with a hay feeding bed so he can now be warm and dry. He doesn't want to give up the cows so now I won't worry about him so much.
and this shows the bed,
He can either stand outside the truck and use the remote or sit inside and use it. Until he gets more practice, I think he will stand outside.
The cows are doing great but we are feeding a lot of hay so I have my fingers crossed!
Chickens are keeping us in eggs plus enough to share now and then.
This morning I have bread going. I can't seem to keep enough ahead with company. This is Hodgson Mills white bread that makes three loaves. I did add some oat bran to it.
I don't make resolutions for the New Year because I know I will not keep them. I do have one in mind:
Make a batch of soap a month (longer cure time is always better)
Maybe take up a new hobby besides reading.....
Have a wonderful weekend.
