"Log Cabin Fever" Recipe:
(Add together)
- Two parents, two children
-Two snow days in a row
-:The inability to leave the farm for over 24 hrs due to being snowed in without snow blower or plow
-Loads upon loads of wet snow pants, jackets, mittens and hats
-Wet, slushy mud-room floor
-Long, dark nights
-Cloudy, snowy days
Yield: Four on/off crabby human beings
The cure for "Log Cabin Fever"
-Mr. Chuck coming two days in a row to plow us out
-Trips to the gym to work out (once we were free)
-Peaceful hours in the home while the children play outside
-A warm fireplace
-Many bites of fudge (including some fudge that was meant for teacher gifts-- oops)
-The days getting longer (hey, even minutes count with me) as the Winter Solstice has passed
-Sunshine
The blizzard of 2013 has passed and here are some pictures:
Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.
