What we've been doing

We've been hunting and Christmas shopping, baking and cooking and shoveling snow (lots of snow!)tending chickens ( we're even getting a couple of eggs already! My how those little chicks grew fast!) and sometimes we conjugate latin verbs and solve for X and try and figure out the Boer War. We also are reading the Iliad out loud. Try that sometime if you want to twist your toungue around all those Greek names. Truly gives new meaning to it's Greek to me!

Snow and Tom Sawyer

We are having our usual mid-winter interuption of declensions by lake effect snow. It is about 3 ft deep and rising. It has also been very cold so you would think those lakes would freeze already!
The hobbits had a Tom Sawyer moment when they convinced the neighbor boy that snow shoveling is the best work out ever!!!
