winter projects

Happy New Year!

This is a picture of me wearing some mittens my friend Christine made for me, and I’m holding a pair she made for the little girl that lives on the farm, Ari. There are more photos of Christine’s and my knitting projects (mostly Christine’s) on the farm photos page. There are also some photos of the farm in winter.

The farm has been demanding and hectic since last I wrote. Digging, building, insulating, drywalling, splitting firewood, harvesting carrots, sorting potatoes, and much more. One day last week the pumphouse flooded because of a frozen valve, and I was up till all hours mopping up. This weekend some guests at the neighbor’s house got stranded in the snow. Today we moved firewood for a lot of the day. And through all this, the milking still needed to be done twice a day, every day.

As I’ve been saying in my letters to relatives, aaaah, the simple life.
