Dear Mom,
Dad is right.
It is too cold to go outside.
It is inhuman out there. (Even with those wool boot socks on over my gloves, and a hat that ties under my chin, my clapotis and the handspun/handknit scarf you made a couple years ago, long johns and two pairs of socks, one of which is wool.)
Still too cold.




Love,
Ruth

Dear Ruth,

It was cold, but we went out. Somehow when you have been in the barn birthing goats in January temps just like yesterday---when the only difference is you are a bit out of the wind in the barn--- it puts the meaning of " cold " into perspective. I had never had afterbirth freeze so fast as on that cold cold night with Sealie. Moral of that was, never feel sorry for a buck in August when he wants to get started. Just wait another 2 months.

K and I had another great day yesterday, searching furniture shops for the perfect solution for storage/work surface by my chair. Still haven't found the piece, but it didn't stop the fun.

Try having both pair of socks wool. Shall I send you the packet of socks in the guest room closet?

I love the photo. It looks exactly like the glaciers in Canada used to look. Monumental, until you see the blades of grass. Great shot. I also loved the Wonder image, and would love a print out of it to hang in here. In fact, I am creating quite a list of ones I want to hang up and enjoy.

Love, and stay warmer,
mom
