I love to wake up to the lights, too. <br />Stay warm and healthy, Kristin.<br />xoxoxo,<br />janie hornAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-83253035434106307442015-01-08T08:07:48.286-05:002015-01-08T08:07:48.286-05:00I too began to feel the gray of winter until my da...I too began to feel the gray of winter until my daughter, who is now living in Mainz, Germany, sent me photographs of what she sees each day as she walks to class. She had told me that it is more gray there than in VT but I did not believe her until seeing her pictures! Indeed-there is a place that looks more gray than New England. They have no snow there and so everything is truly gray. It is amazing how the snow adds to the color scheme-I am now seeing not jut gray, but blues, browns, and pinks on my landscape.<br /><br />Wishing your ewes and lambs well as they lamb in this bitter cold.Vermont Grand View Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768128691862255428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-48246677994051936442015-01-08T04:36:32.454-05:002015-01-08T04:36:32.454-05:00Sending my best wishes for your lambing season - i...Sending my best wishes for your lambing season - it's such a hard time on the farm. Do you have 'internships' over there? A young person who works and learns 'on the job' for a minimal wage, supplemented by a government scheme. Lots of businesses like yours over here benefit so much from their youth, energy and work contribution. It would be wonderful experience for a young person who wants to be a farmer, vet or work with animals. Keep warm and love to you all.

But I do have parsley growing in a kitchen pot and am about to watch "The French Connection." Will be nice to see neighbors in 4 months or so:) Everybody here seems to keep up Christmas light for same reason as you!<br />Ann from MaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-34159095139557191792015-01-07T18:32:44.586-05:002015-01-07T18:32:44.586-05:00I've just scanned up my Blog-reading-list...

Had about 8-inches of "Baked Alaska" on our driveway the other day! A quarter inch of ice-crust coating frozen SLUSH. Thankfully one of my SNOWBLOWER-Neighbours did most of my "slab" & the several feet of PLOW-POOP "Barrier". Next day, the temps totally nose-dived! It's -37C [-35F] windchills at the moment. For the first time in years the "normal" *frigid* temps are BACK! -- That said, I certainly DON'T envy your "farm" Life at the moment! <br />Anyhoo, stay WARM and keep THE FARMER *healthy*!

I wanted to tell you I purchased your new book this fall, and after Christmas I have been practicing the embroidery stitches on a small piece of plaid wool.
