... woke up one morning to snow!! It's mostly gone now, but it was a glorious frosty surprise in which we were out playing before 7 am. ... participated in an online nature exchange and received a fun package of beachy items all the way from sunny CA! The sand dollar and piece of lobster shell were the favorites. ...said goodbye to our chickens. It was a cold but successful butchering day. Despite the gross factor, I have to recommend the experience to everyone at least once. There's something natural and wholesome to get up close and personal with the circle of life of which we are so often far removed. Oh, and I learned what the eggs look like when they're not out yet... strangely fascinating. I kept recalling childhood memories from butchering day at Grandpa Joe's farm w/ my large herd of relatives. We are hoping to raise a new flock again next spring. ...stuck the baby in a giant pumpkin... he didn't like it too much. I thought it was very cute. ...took an evening walk down our country lane. ...read a favorite story and had a birthday party. The big 2! ...harvested the last of the garden. Carrots. Yum! Harvesting in snow reminded me of when we planted last April. See? ...did some geography and some sloyd with friends. "We must make it our business, as much as in us lies, to bring beauty to places where it is not."

There's a nature blog called Mud Puddles to Meteors. I'm sure you can google them. We like the seasonal flavor of their blog.
