Feb. 16, 2007 - Snow, Chickens, and Haircuts
I think I know one thing that really keeps me from blogging. Now that I have my blog password memorized this is the only excuse I have left. It's that sometimes when I get to the computer it's late and I just don't really have any thoughts left that make any sense. So if my blog entries ever seem as if they don't make much sense I'm sure that 's why.
On Tuesday night it snowed/iced so out trip to Bethany Christian Services was postponed to Thurs. We all really enjoyed going to deliver the boxes and then we got some other things done while we were out.
It has been a mixture of cold and warm here lately. This morning when I went out to do the chickens I think it was about 17* and then this afternoon it was about 45*. The children have really enjoyed going outside to go sledding and to play in the snow. Wendy's oldest son made a really neat fort on Wed.
The chickens have been so funny when I let them out in the morning. They look around at the snow and it's like they're thinking, "What is that? I'm not going to step my foot in that!" Then I get out some chicken scratch and then they come out, LOL. This evening I went out there to gather the eggs (I couldn't this morning since Miss late-egg-layer was on the eggs when I went out) and to put down some more straw. When I came in I told Wendy everything is so much more difficult when the ground is ice! I went down to get the straw (I say down b/c their backyard is downhill) and then realize I need the wagon that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over there. So I carefully walk (the whole time I'm trying to walk in other people's footprints b/c I realized right away that it was icy since I almost fell right after I went out the door) over to get the wagon to take it back over to put the straw in it to take it to the chicken coop to lay it down. LOL. It was quite an adventure. It actually was nice to get out and do that.
Melissa, a friend who lives near Wendy, came over this afternoon to cut Wendy and I's hair. Melissa is one of those people who have a way of getting people to do things they wouldn't normally do. She told me how she thought my hair would look good and she made it sound so good that I told her to go ahead. So now my hair which was rather long is now much shorter, about to my chin. I REALLY like it, though! It was pretty damaged before and since my hair is thin it just doesn't look good very long anyway and tends to look stringy. Now it looks thicker and Melissa says it brings out my best features.
Wendy's hair looks lovely! She kept her length and got some layers and it looks pretty.
My sock is still going, but I'm getting closer to being finished with it. I'm on the foot now so I just have to keep knitting then decrease for the toe and graft the toe. I'm actually going to go do some knitting right now...
