Yesterday the morning dawned pink and blue and lavender
Gradually the air warmed up allowing the dogs and I to go for a walk.
It’s always slow going (now) for Fuzzy. I’m not in any hurry. We stop here and there and he sniffs the weeds and adds to the smells already on them.
Boomer has a hard time staying close by. After a time is feels like he just ‘has to head-out’ to smell what he can smell.
He always comes back…on the run. Always! What a fun goofy dog he is!
The snow has become ragged and tired slowly melting. Yesterday we got up to 34*; today we will get up 41* They tell us another snowstorm is due in here sometime late this week. Until then we will take the warmth. Usually after a snow storm it turns very cold again.
The tractor shed door opener broke last week, so today Terry is putting up the new one. He thought it was the gear that went out, but it was the circuit board. (As you know we are having a rash of things breaking.)
The furnace is still a huge problem, it is looking like we won’t be able to get it fixed until sometime this summer. Just to fix it is going to require digging under the house –by hand. Neither one of us want to do this work in the snow and cold. We have the wood-stove and lots of wood so we are good for the rest of the year.
Anyway, we are moving forward on the things to fix list…4010 fixed (we still need to hook-up the loader on it), still working on the garage door, the bean combine fixed and put up for the year, still have to get the metal welded under the gasoline combine, but the chain is fixed, still looking for a motor for the diesel combine…see we are moving forward…everything just takes time.
Getting closer to Christmas. I have the menu’s planned now and the daytime activities. I just need to shop for food.
Your Friend,

Why can’t you get the furnace fixed? That seems like it would be simple. Can’t find parts?
Boomer is funny!

The first sky picture is absolutely lovely, Linda. Isn’t is calming to stand by the window or outside to watch the early morning sky change colors?! I love it!
Glad Fuzzy can still make those walks. He and Boomer are so sweet! Enjoy those walks the next few days.
I am almost finished with my cards…that will be a good feeling when they are done UNTIL I get one from someone I didn’t send to this year! 🙂 So I never pack them too far away. Christmas will be at my daughter’s, so no planning for me this year.
Christmas Blessings!

Ah yes, the life test…does one keep fixing things or move on? We spend our lives on a farm holding things together with baling wire and a promise.

I’m sorry to hear that things seem to keep breaking as fast as you can get them fixed. I don’t blame you for wanting to wait until summer to start digging under the house — I’m just glad you have plenty of firewood. I enjoyed your photos of Boomer and Fuzzy enjoying their walk. The sky is beautiful in your last picture.

Oh My—Sorry about your furnace –but thank goodness for your wood stove.. We count on our fireplace to help tremendously with our electric bill.. BUT–it’s been so cold recently that the furnace still runs some…
We still haven’t gotten any snow—and none is coming anytime soon I don’t think… The temps are rising —and even though they say we will have rain for the 3rd straight weekend, it should only be RAIN this time (since it is warmer)…. ME? I would prefer some snow–but so far, NONE! ha
Seems as if Christmas is coming very fast this year… We all had better be READY….
Merry Christmas.
Hugs,
Betsy

At least you seem to fix things before you need them… around our house they are overlooked until the moment one of us wants to use the item.
Stay warm!!
