Wow, I thought that it was just supposed to rain today! Before I left the bus lot this morning, the snow started coming down, and just got heavier throughout the morning. It was so pretty! It seems so rare that we actually get snow here. We are usually “lucky” to get ice. I think that it is supposed to do this again on Friday.
Bryan and I dug up the tomato and pepper plants over the Thanksgiving holidays with the hope of keeping them alive through the winter. We will see how that goes. Right now they are in the garage and I am debating dragging them inside by the backdoor.
Feather will be 6 tomorrow. It seems like yesterday that she was born. She is so grown up now. Recently she has decided that she wants to go to bed and sleep at night. A lot of this is to do with the fact that she knows that in order to go on the bus with me she has to go to sleep. She is not making it in time for me to wake her up at 5 yet, but she is getting there.
The fact that Bryan and I have spent a very significant part of the last six years trying to get her to go to sleep at a decent time, and now like a switch being flipped, she has decided to do it on her own, just floors me. Score one for the “unschooling” philosophy. I am not sure if we will put her in school or not. If we do, I am going to do my best to remember this “lesson” that she has taught me, and not get stressed about the little details.
“Scratch” aka “Mittens” aka “Ms. Fuzzykins” aka “Reach Up” is still with us with occasional appearances by “King”. I am assuming that they have been dumped by someone. So hopefully I can find them good homes. Scratch needs a house and a dogless family to rule she tolerates the boys, but if they get close to her little house or food, she gets upset. We think that King would be happiest as a barn cat or inside with time spent in the great outdoors as he seems to be very adventurous.
