Settling In....


First snow of the year is falling outside...and we're... almost...moved. E is still at the old place with his dad, they're cleaning and packing up one last load of odds n' ends. The bees will have to wait till tomorrow due to the change in the weather and there's a whole load of trash that we'll need to take to the dump tomorrow too. But as for things here...

Only some boxes left, most of the furniture is where it's supposed to be. The dogs are settling in, they spend all day on the deck/patio since people have been in and out, but they seem to like it :) The goat is also back there, unfortunately - we haven't found a single thing that can hold her after she figured out how to jump the six foot fence that surrounds the dog pen we had planned to keep her in while we finish the pasture fence. The hens love their new, temporary digs - they are in the fenced in garden area that was already here. They took dust baths in the dirt all morning. We do have a barn that needs to be divided into stalls, and posts up where the pasture will be, but moving everything else has taken precedence so far.

I have the tree-in-a-bag and ornament box out, with high hopes to decorate a little tomorrow - we still have a pile of boxes where I'd like to set it up, but we may be able to dig into those tomorrow. I'm exhausted - we all are - and I'm more excited about the four day week then the holidays this year - it'll be very low key. Lots of invites - a cookie exchange Wednesday, a X-mas Eve party before we celebrate with E's folks, and then a long drive to my extended family's X-mas shin-dig. But first we'll be able to sleep in, at least a little bit!!!

I'm sure I'll locate the digi-cam eventually - it's in a box, somewhere. Have a great holiday, everyone - I'll be checking in.
