Old Snapshots

I went into "New Post" this morning with absolutely no idea what I was going to write. So I thought, "Well, there's always photos."

And then I scrolled down my photos collection and started grabbing old ones to look at with you. Fun!

This, for instance, is exactly a year ago today, when we had terrible cold and rime.

This was the weather that froze our pipes for a few days. Good times. (Not really.)

We have a weekend of very cold, windy, and snowy weather coming up, and you'd better believe we're going to be extra careful of our pipes.

Here's a close-up of Cora from a couple of summers ago.

Glaring at me because I insist on putting children on her back and not letting her eat the delicious grass she's walking right past.

And here's Odin in the verdant grass of a wet summer a couple of years ago.

Well, as verdant as it ever gets around here.

Also from that summer: a gaggle of lambs.

Reclining at their ease in the sun. The lamb that was born yesterday morning has yet to experience this kind of luxury, poor thing. 

And I'll leave you with a dog photo:

Good old Jasper, always at my feet.

Snapshots: Winter Weather

 I put away all the Christmas stuff on Tuesday.

Getting all the nativity pieces back in this styrofoam holder was rather like a puzzle.

Wednesday didn't start out too well. I knocked over a jar of vinegar while I was turning on the light, and then I somehow managed to knock over my entire cup of coffee. I don't even know how I did that.

Cleaning it up required getting everything off this counter so I could mop it all up. And then I had to make more coffee.

The day improved when I got a call at 5:15 a.m. that we were going to have a two-hour delay because of fog. Hooray! Everyone can sleep in! No inspirational music necessary. 

It was pretty cold in my office when I finally got to school. Mostly because I don't actually have heat in there, except this very small space heater.

Which I park under my desk to trap as much heat as possible.

The next day, we had some really terrible wind in addition to cold. It was no weather to be out in. This cow at one of our bus stops agreed.

Pretty sure she was watching the house door, hoping to make a break for it.

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
