Sassparilla

Still a pretty doe at 10 years old, Sassparilla's hair makes the silkiest yarn for shawls.This will probably be her last kidding, we'll see.Yesterday was cold and sunny, real nice day.Spent the weekend cleaning  up after the plumbers,carpenters and electricians, what a mess, must have washed 20 loads of clothes and vaccumed up 20 pounds of dust and dirt. Hopefully this will be the last week of repairs and this work will last another 30 plus years.Cooked a big dinner of ribs,green beans,corn,slaw,sweet tea and chocolate cake for the kids and grand kids yesterday, then we took a 2 mile hike, I was dead and headed for my chair about 5.Dinner is at 12 noon, supper is the evening meal served shortly after dark.This is a working farm and our lives and meals revolve around the seasons, I never have a watch on but I can tell you the time of day within a few minutes.In late November my body starts getting sluggish with the shortness of daylight but a few days after Christmas I slowly start back up and when the first few warm days roll around I am ready to go day and night.
