Someone is coming!
Guard the door!
Don’t be silly.
It’s our cousins!
Apollo (the red one) and Loki—here for a week while their family goes to Las Vegas!
Company!

The March winds are here
The wind in March has a true purpose
Without the wind the trees would have trouble
For it is with the wind the trees are able to bring the sap up from the roots.
Wind! We jump for joy!
Soon the trees will have leaves!

The sun has been seen so rarely all this late fall, winter, and now early spring
That when we do have it we are over-wrought with
Immense joy.
I would like to hang onto the joy of the sun. Instead, we have the diaphanous sheen of pearly grey.
Sigh.

We had a wee walkabout—just as the sky was turning lavender.
Perfect!

TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!

Is getting the logs split and into the stove!
We do it together– he lifts and splits. I take the splits and stack!
Then haul it into the house. (I like to use the rounds and the splits as a mix in the firebox)
Wood…it’s been a fall/winter/ early Spring continuing job.
