He's in charge of who's in charge

Webster that is. Here is Webster, hanging out comfortably in Sidney's bed, Shelly in her usual place at the door, ready to go out anytime the door opens and Sidney, not interested in arguing with Webster. Good boy, Sid.

Love

Enough Love
"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;

No disease that enough love will not heal;

No door that enough love will not open;

No gulf that enough love will not bridge;

No wall that enough love will not throw down;

No sin that enough love will not redeem. . . It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake — a sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. . . if only you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world."
—Emmet Fox

Love is not just a romantic feeling to be celebrated with hearts and flowers one day a year. It is a dynamic power to be used 365 days out of every year, used without ceasing. The power of unconditional love enables us to live joyfully, abundantly and in peace, healing every disease, correcting every malfunction. May this day of love serve as a reminder to all humanity that when we are willing to love without limits of any kind only then will we be able to live without limits, as well.

May you always be willing to love without limit.

Road Trip

Jack and I took a drive over to Antrim to check out a store named A Place In The Woods www.placeinthewoods.biz/ It is under new ownership since last July, John and Diane Kendall, and I had met Diane a number of times at various sheep festivals around New England. Diane is known for her wonderful teeshirts that espouse various knitting and dyeing lines on them with fun artwork. They are for sale in the shop. I bought one yesterday, simple white with green lettering "Knit Free or Dye". We also bought some new gloves, fleece with thermal linings for $10...good enough! It's a nice store with something for everyone. A couple can go there and both be entertained from the hunting and fishing to the clothing, boots and canoes, and much more.
It started to snow just after we got there, very lightly. Antrim is northeast from us and with the storm coming in from the west, by the time we left to come back the roads were snow-covered. But we love driving in the snow so it was great fun. Of course we like ANYTHING to do with snow! This morning on the news we heard the roads were at their worst from 4-6PM, exactly the times we were on them. It has been snowing since yesterday with at least 6 new inches of snow!

At the farm

Here are a few shots this morning. See how the sheep line up at the snow bar for a lick. They have plenty of good clean water and they still love fresh snow! Wetherby was on a mission to come see me for a chin scratch!

It is still snowing. There is a cold front moving in with a burst of snow ahead of it and then wind and cold temperatures. Yippee!

Sunday's fun to follow later on.....

Chili dogs

This afternoon we snomobiled the trails from the farm to Keene to have a bite to eat at Chili's and then come home, about 50 miles round trip. We knew the riding wouldn't be the best, despite all the snow we just got, but it was a fun ride anyway. The ride started out warm, in the 30's, some sun. We snomobiled over hill and dale, crossing multiple and difficult water bars with some great spurts of open fields and railroad beds. Actually half the trip to Keene is on former railroad beds and as we neared the city there were more and more people using the trails; walking, cross country skiing, even running. We rode by a young fellow walking with a rifle slung over his shoulder headed up a hill. Perhaps rabbit hunting or maybe going to target shoot. We rode by these ice climbers on the rail bed.

We had a bite to eat and drink at Chili's and then headed home about 4PM. The cold front pushed in and wow did the snow fly! It was wild. We stopping in town in the field overlooking the CT River as we had on the way to Keene. The moon was rising,the snow whipped across the field, the wind was howling. Loved every minute of it. We arrived back at the farm at 6ish. All in all a great afternoon!

Talk to me!

The comment posted below under "Hard Drive...Shame On You" has spurred me to share a post which I wrote weeks ago but never put forth to you. Blogging is a personal thing and it's fun. I enjoy sharing daily news and other stuff with you. Us bloggers know this! In fact I want to start a once in a while giveaway for fiber related things I no longer need or can use; no not my drum carder(silly you), no not my needle collection, no not my sheep (way silly you)! But maybe a funky spindle or some yarn, you know, fun stuff! Maybe even some grape jam! But what the heck! How can I play if you don't step up to the plate?! It takes two to tango! I haven't figured out the giveaway just yet but when I do you'll be the ones to know it. It will be simple and easy and everyone will know who gets the givaway. So anyway here's what I wrote weeks ago....

Hey all you quiet watchers and friends....I know you are out there! You read my blog, you tell me so via emails and such, but very few of you comment. Did you know you can? Did you know a blogger loves to know you are out there? All you have to do (and mind you, I am not demanding it, but perhaps you don't know this) is click on the word "comments" at the bottom of any post and follow the prompts...fire away and I'd love to hear from you. It's safe and a fun way to stay in touch. I know you are out there! (<:
