Weathering the Storm

We had an ice storm and a snow storm last week. I had hoped to get out of the house to do a little shopping, but was either iced or snowed in. It was rather difficult for me because I have been feeling the cabin fever lately and really needed a day, or two, out.

Luckily, the weather, although cold, has been mild this week. I went shopping, and found some nice yarn for a good price. Now I have some projects to do, which will come in handy if we get another winter storm.

In addition to the weather, last week was the start of my extra treks to the barn. Lambing season is coming up in a few weeks. We should have arrivals by the end of the month. If I do not get myself used to going over more frequently to check for lambs now, it will be more difficult for me to get into a new routine when I absolutely HAVE to.

Now that lambing season is close by, I am itching for spring. We have yet to see the ground without snow or ice covering it since Christmas. It is getting tough on us, and on the animals as they have been confined to the barn while we wait for the ice to melt.
