I've never been good at journaling. "It's my one weakness", to quote Dorcas Lane in Lark Rise To Candleford. I love the idea of it and I love notebooks and journals, but I just can't seem to form a habit of it. I guess that is why there has been such a long absence here on my blog. It's an online journal. So the past several months have been filled with gardening, canning, freezing, baking, preparing meals, and hunkering down for a long winter! It has been a horribly long winter! Freezing temperatures, lots of snow (or as I sometimes mistype "snot"), and freezing rain. I started my seeds today just to lift my spirits and get a jump on our short season. 45 different varieties and 460 seeds!! I loved the looks of our big farm table, all covered end to end with the different packets of seeds promising me what is on the front! They are good seed and certainly produced a good crop last year.
My son's girlfriend has new puppies! So adorable and they come to visit often! Lola is white and her brother Nacho is brown. They are little balls of energy and we are enjoying watching them grow and play.
My cowboy is off in Oklahoma, at Oklahoma State Horseshoeing School. He's having a blast and learning a lot. Dean and his wife are expecting their first baby (Benjamin Thomas) boy in June. TJ was hired at a Toyota company and is loving it! He graduates in May. Acelia is doing great in her studies and will be raising a few pigs this summer along with tending her goats and caring for the horses. She is in hopes of getting a summer job this year.
We've all kept pretty busy and this spring promises to be busy as well!
