We are headed to Atlanta tomorrow morning for a brief two day visit with my sister and her family. Wouldn’t you know that now there’s a winter storm predicted starting late tonight! Finally, a reasonable snowstorm, and we’re headed to Atlanta—well, assuming the roads are passable in the morning!

Everything is fairly settled right now on the farm. The sheep are in their pens in the back yard, putting on a little weight and getting bred (actually, I think all the ewes are bred by now. Yay! April lambs!) Maude is due to calve in three weeks, and has a huge belly. I am beginning to detect changes in her udder, too. And Pearl is due ten days later than that, but has the most ginormous belly I’ve maybe ever seen! Like me, she’s short so when she’s pregnant she really shows!

So we’ll be gone a couple of days—it may be nice to have a change of scenery, though I am a little grouchy about the forecast.Firewood

The only consolation for maybe missing this storm is that right now, forecasts are tentatively calling for snow Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
