Happy New Year! I have decided (decreed) that 2022 is going to be a wonderful, amazing year. I recently read somewhere that in order to have a good day, one must decide to have a good day when one first gets out of bed. So I decided that 2022 will be a wonderful year! That should set the mood for the entire year, right?
New Year's Day started out pretty good - well, except for the snow and the bitter cold. But we all woke up, having gone to be early the night before with no hangovers or lack of sleep from staying up till midnight. We were all healthy. The electricity stayed on all day. We had food to eat and things to occupy our time (sewing and knitting and other crafty stuff). It was a good start to a new year. The next day was my birthday and Mr. Wonderful cooked me a scruptious dinner and I heard from our Utah family (they even sang to me when they called - I just love that group!). I was able to stitch a little and even finish a project. Again, a good start.
Yesterday, Mom and I met up with Fran for lunch to celebrate not only my birthday, but Fran's birthday on the 3rd and Mom's birthday today. A lovely tradition with friends and loved ones.
We lost our Rosie (white-faced, red cow) in November...she got some kind of disease and died very shortly after. We were going to breed her and Belle early this year since the calves are going to be a year old in March. We had an opportunity to have a young bull come visit Belle for the next 3 months and took it.
