I spent a few hours at church on Friday with some of the children, putting away the Christmas decorations, cleaning, and changing the altar cloths from the white of the feast days to the green of ordinary time.
Christmas church.
Ordinary church.
And the Infant of Prague in his ordinary green robe.
It was remarkably warm on Friday, much to the pleasure of the two lambs we have now.
Both female.
We knew, however, that some nasty weather was on the way, so we spent the rest of Friday preparing for it. I assigned each of the children a chore involving firewood.
Filling the wood holder near the door, splitting kindling, picking up kindling, and filling the wood holder inside.
The snow, wind, and cold arrived on Saturday.
Brrr.
There was a lot of reading by the woodstove.
Sharing the stove with the frozen sausages thawing.
Even colder weather is expected in the next couple of days, so we'll see if we end up going to school.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
