We had about a foot of snow until yesterday when it warmed up to 50 degrees with plenty of sunshine. Today I can see green grass for the first time in a month, if not longer…
Then a wicked rainstorm blew through this morning and got my little tufted titmouse soaked.
I still haven’t gotten the Christmas cards back from the printer, so don’t count on seeing yours until after Christmas. And since the printer is a fair distance from here and very close to our favorite tree farm, we don’t have a tree yet either. It would be my first year without a tree if we don’t get one. I don’t want to break that tradition, but it could happen this year.
And we are having our second year of a new tradition—Husband cooking a goose for Christmas Day. We bought our Thanksgiving turkey from a nice lady whose 4H kids raise these animals for the holidays. Tomorrow I am picking up 2 Toulouse geese, a heritage French breed, one for the freezer, one for next week. She charges half of what we paid a local butcher last year, so we had to get 2!
And now it’s snowing again. Goodbye grass.
