When my DH went out to start his truck to leave he said it was calm.  The wind chimes were quite.  When he went to leave 15-20 minutes later the wind chimes were singing.  Now they are more or less banging.   Even though it is 44 outside I have a feeling that chores won't be fun.   I know keeping the house warm isn't fun this morning.   I have a nice fire going, yet the house feels cool.  Have I mentioned I am ready for spring?  I am sure some of you are thinking that come mid summer when we are 100+ I will be whining about wanting winter.  I may gripe because it is hot, but I won't wish for winter!  :)   We are suppose to be in the 70s this weekend.  Down side of that is 20-30 mph winds.  That much wind makes doing stuff outside hard. 

My new loom came yesterday!  YEA!!!  I bought yarn in the hopes it would come while I was in town.  I came home to see it sticking out of the mailbox at the hwy.  After I got kids to bed I sat down and started a ??? what ever it turns out.  I am using the whole loom, so 60 inch piece.  I hope to do the wrap that I didn't get to work last time.  If not it can be another throw.  I love the one that I made.  I have it on my legs right now.  It is really soft and warm. 

Therapy went well yesterday.  I told the therapist what is going on with MN and then they went back to talk.  T and I both had a nice nap.  Therapist had a fire going in her fake fireplace and it was warm and we just relaxed.   Therapist feels that maybe some of MN's disobedience stems from her having to go back to Hope House and give her statement to them.  She didn't want to, didn't feel it would accomplish anything and didn't like the fact that people were listening and watching and video taping behind the mirror.  She also felt the lady wasn't believing her or wasn't paying attention to what she said as she kept asking the same questions in different ways.   I know this was to see if they could catch her lying, but to MN the lady just wasn't interested enough to listen to what she said the first time or the second time.  I am hopeful that as we clear the air the anger she has at me and possible the therapist for allowing/making her go to Hope House will dissipate.  I also have her writing a letter to Hope House explaining how they made her feel. 

Sunrise this morning is vivid reds and pinks.   It is really beautiful!   There are enough clouds in the east to make daylight slow in coming.  It is almost 7:30 and still almost to dark to see outside.  It is light enough that the peafowl are coming off the top of the house and other places they roost.   I can hear them calling back and forth.   I can also see them moving out front. 

Yesterday while I was in town I started taking cold.  You know that feeling where your throat/ears itch burn and sting?  That started while we were eating lunch and just kept getting worse. I stopped by Big Lots and got some cold-ezzz which I have no clue if it helps  or not.  Sometimes I think so some times not.  I do know they taste terrible enough to help.  I used one lozenges and one gum and when I got home made me some tea using cold and immune building tea bags.  I don't seem to have near as scratch a throat and ear today.  I will do some more of the teas today. 

I have my cheese in the frig.  It now has to set for 25 days before it is ready.  You turn it daily and inspect it for mold.  I think I was supposed to take the cheese cloth off before I soaked it in the brine water, but didn't oops.  Will do that next time.    I hope to make some more next week.  I shared most of my milk for now, so I don't have any to play with.  I would much rather share!   But my milker is now home and working I hope.   It was home yesterday morning, but didn't work.  The cord next to the plug was damaged.  DH fixed that when he came home last night.   I felt bad him having to do that after a day of meetings then a 3.5 hour drive home. He didn't get home until about 9.30.   At least it was a quick fix for him. 

My son is finally getting ready to take the beef's to the processor!  YEA!  Now I need to find people that want a couple more beefs.  They aren't organic, but they don't have added hormone shots or antibiotic shots.  We have 5 ready and homes for 2 or 3.   I will add it to the local buy/sell/trade today.  I am hoping he can take them on Monday. 

Time to go brave the wind and get chores done!  All have a blessed day.
