Old Man Winter Moved In


Old man winter moved in last night with a dusting of white magic to cover the grounds. He brought his gusts of wind with him & before he left he blew over the homestead outhouse tool shed. Leaving quite a mess to cleanup before feeding the creatures today. The containers of creature food were over turned leaving their vittles scattered about the inside of the outhouse. Oh but the creatures had to be cared for in spite of this.

The outhouse tool shed was stood back up before the days close & cleaned out. Cement blocks were put on the floor to help weight it down. All in a days work. Next on the chore list was to get gas for Lucas. I finished pumping the gas & got in the truck to get the cash to pay the store keeper. While shutting the truck door old man winter blew another gust of wind blowing the truck door shut faster catching my hand in the door as it closed. I can say it HURT. Not easy shifting the truck driving back to the homestead but I got there with hand swollen & thumb turning black. After pulling & tugging I got the ring off my thumb making the pain worse. As you can guess this put a wrench in my plans to work on my creations today. I am not a fan of winter so I was happy the white magic blew away so fast. The kids are all here tonight but I know soon Laken & her friend will be heading out. So I must be going to visit with them.

Blessings Til Next Time!
