I got up and drank some green tea, said good morning to Mark and his cousin and then headed outside to my little sanctuary for some time in prayer. It was absolutely beautiful outside! A light snow was falling, no wind and every tree branch was outlined in little snowflakes. I was going to sing again this morning, but enjoyed just sitting and taking in the calmness of the morning and praying. Eventually I got cold and went back inside to find the men had left for Berlin. I cleaned up the kitchen, went into the cellar and grabbed the dry clothes and brought them upstairs to be ironed. Then I spent some time watching Hallmark movie trailers. I really want to see the Hallmark “Uncorked”, but they didn’t have the right one online.
Eventually the girls got up and we congregated in the kitchen. We ate some toast around noon. I left the kitchen to find everyone had just moved to the couches, so I grabbed a book and started reading. Nancy made a fire so it was kind of cozy. For a late afternoon lunch we had soup.
After lunch, we walked out to check on the deer. Nancy said sometimes when the hay bales come they have twine on them and the deer antlers get stuck in them. One deer died last year because it got stuck. Several of the deer came over to the fence, so we were able to get pictures with them. Now I have proof of how close we got to them! J It felt so much colder this afternoon than it did this morning, so I was thankful when we headed inside. I was freezing!
This afternoon, we played connect 4, uno spin, and who is it? We painted nails and ate junk food. After the girls showed off their dance moves for their dad we went into the cellar to watch a movie.
