Like everywhere else, December is cold and wet on a farm. I find this disappointing, although I don't know why I am surprised.
Our December has looked like this so far: cough, sneeze, rain, new cows, injury, rain, rain, new calves, flu, rain, mud, tummy bugs, fall in mud.
My day looks like this: sweep, mop, mop, yell at muddy dogs, wash muddy blankets, sweep, wash muddy boots, remind muddy farmers to wipe feet, wash muddy blankets.
And nap. Lots of napping.
Things are tense on McBee Farm tonight because the hay shed just blew away. The guys are prepared for hard work tomorrow but tonight they are quiet.
I am really excited about Christmas on the farm and about starting our own family traditions. Stay tuned for actual farm related non whining blogs soon! Oh guest bloggers as well!


I LOVE that picture of her in her boots! They are awesome!
ReplyDeleteErik and Addison have pneumonia, both girls have ear infections, and all three are on antibiotics. Meanwhile my classroom has had flu, pink eye, strep, and croup. I don't know how I've managed to not get sick. I'm sure it's just a matter of time! :)
OMG the NAPS sound amazing! Tonight starts my winter break and I am SO taking some naps and reading some good books!
I love the gray days and I love the rain. But muddy dogs, notsomuch.
Merry Christmas, if we don't touch base before then.
