First, it's the winter solstice, the day darkness dominates daylight and children can be tricked into an even earlier bedtime (at least until they learn to tell time) as its pitch black when they gaze out the kitchen window while they finish up homework and set the table for supper. Sunset at 4:23 pm. Bed by 7:23?
Second, it is my mother in laws birthday! Happy birthday Mima! We will have a little something for you to open come Christmas Eve.
And third, today starts a new project for this Wary Farmwife. My hope (note that I didn't write goal or plan or project) is to write a blog post every day for a full year. 365 posts related, somehow, to living on a small farmette for one winter, spring, summer and fall!
Some posts will be short and sweet, some pictures only and some may go on and on and on...
I hope these blog writings give you a sense of daily life on a very small scale family farmette.
I'd write more but I have presents to wrap, little boys to get to bed and a messy kitchen to clean before I can lay my head down on its pillow. But how sweet to know that when I wake up tomorrow, the sunlight will start, ever so slowly, taking back the day!
