Welcoming Winter
Posted on 10. Dec, 2009 by Kate in Farm & Family
This was sunrise yesterday.
Snow is good for playing,
but chores still have to be done.
Chickens have to be fed and watered. There are eggs to collect and …
firewood to bring in. Somehow, halfway to the house with a load of firewood, building a snowman seemed like a better idea to this cowboy.
However, this little cowboy was done, done, done I tell you. Darn those mittens–it’s hard to hold a palm sized tractor in fluffy, warm mittens! And it was COLD.
Good thing we could all come in and warm up in front of this. Hope you are enjoying the snow!

I am the mother of six learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 16 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write. My first book, FALLING AWAKE, will be published in 2012 with Covenant Communications.
A True Short Story
My first published work entitled "More Than Pinecones" is in this collection of true Christmas stories.

The closeup of the fire in the fireplace is kind of scary.

@Robert, Now that’s cold! I don’t know what it’s gotten down to here. We have a bathroom sink that freezes at -10 and it’s been frozen for the last two mornings. so it’s been at least that cold here. The neighboring town reported -25 and we’re usually 5 degrees warmer.
