Week two of having everyone in the family home on vacation and school break is thankfully coming to an end. We have had SO much snow and the temps have been in the negative digits, so we have all been cooped up together and it was getting rough! I love my family, in moderation. LOL
We had a wonderful Christmas, all be it small in the gift department, but our kids understand that there are more important things about Christmas than toys. We enjoyed traditions, making things for each other, and watching each other glow opening the gifts we had made.
I am already over breaking ice and refilling waterers. I know we have a long way to go with winter, but I am tired of frozen fingers and my nostrils freezing shut during chore time. I am already dreaming of gardening and sitting under a shade tree.
So what made me smile this week?

Winter time is cold, but that makes it the perfect time to pull down wasp nests! I think they are really cool to look at, I just don’t like the residents! |

The littlest country kid got to visit reindeer! He was delighted and slightly afraid. I finally got him to pet its butt when it wasn’t looking. Ah, holiday memories in the making! |

The littlest country kid LOVES the hat daddy knitted him. I think it is so pretty and the littlest country kid wears it ALL the time now. |
It has been freezing here too! I can not imagine the work involved with farm animals when the temps are in the negative digits. It's all I can do to brave the cold long enough to go to the store for groceries.
It doesn't hurt till you get back inside and your hands start to gain feeling again. Then it HURTS. It kinds feels like they are on fire. Ugh. But I love our critters, so it is just part of life.
You had a wonderful Christmas!
It was nice 🙂
you are so right, smile a bit every day it makes life better The chicken you shared was a laugh for me thanks
I am so glad I can bring a smile to others through our quirky everyday life!
