It was technically a short week with Monday being a holiday but it sure felt like a regular long week to both me and Phil.  Last weekend  felt nice and long and productive.  It included outside work, walking the property to outline where the new goat barn will be, where the water lines will be put in, where the fence lines needed to go, and how to arrange the vegetable garden.  We had a quick adventure up to Lake Oswego after church when it was too rainy to work outside. This weekend the dense fog was miserable.  It was dark, damp, and the air had such a deep chill that some of us had to wear balaclavas and our warmest gloves when we worked outside.  We rented a sod cutter and let me tell you, that is no easy work!!!  We thought we would get the entire garden cut out and a good start on moving the sod but only got about 1/4 of it done.  Beautiful sunrise earlier in the week: I must have felted sometime between this post and the last but I can hard...

I really enjoyed our Christmas Break this year!  It felt longer than usual, there was an adventure thrown in, lots of downtime, art time, and I got some planning done.  Plus, no one got sick!  LOL!  The only part of it that was stressful was Sunday night when the house was quite a mess and knowing we had to transition back to "real life" and I didn't feel ready. Belated birthday breakfast with Evi. Shotguns and wrist rockets.... Pulling tansy and burn piles. Amazing skies... Sending Phil pictures of me...
