As a family we did light cleaning and put away the crib in preparation for Mass on Saturday. God willing possibly some day preferably sooner than later local parishioners may be able to have daily access to God’s House. Prayer in ones home is important for surely, yet, I find it very special to pray in this little country parish church.

The best days of living in the country are yet to come! The approach is now dry enough to bring the wagon out. It’s always been phenomenal to me how most children become happily content if they can get outside even for a short walk.

These brothers best start writing thank yous! By the looks of it, they are going to have birthday weeks, not just a Birthday day!

Enjoyed the evening with the Well Read Mom Group.

Today we worked the yearling heifers and hauled them out to pasture.

Words cannot capture the beauty of this morning! I ran over to give the chickens the chicken garbage with no jacket on, there is no breeze, all the animals are out sunning themselves and the ground is frozen. After this cold winter, this morning is such a gift! My Darling Dear detests the mud that happens in the afternoon because of the melting snow, but I keep encouraging him that a good pair of rain boots and a few sunny days is all he needs. It seems to dry so fast here compared to wetter areas, even in just this state.

We just spotted the first goose of the season! One time when I was growing up there was a pair of swans in the marsh! When I’m a real old lady I think I’ll take my binoculars and go bird watching!

Shamrock cookies & corned beef and cabbage. Going to make this 1/16 & 1/32 Irish count!

Happy March 14th! 3.14! Have a piece of pie! We must be right on the line of the storm. We did not get any snow that I can tell, and even the breeze is going down and it was quite a pleasant walk at 10 a.m. 6 miles away however there is no travel advised.
