I know it's Monday but I can't help but start this day with a smile. We turned the clocks back this past weekend and when I woke up this morning there was a definite chill in the house. So as I begin to take up my winter morning routine again I know that soon the field work will really be done for the year and Jeff will have time to spend with our family again.
Before the boys get up I get the dryer started. We put a heat exchanger on the dryer exhaust a couple years ago so that in the winter I can divert the warm humid air that comes from the dryer back into the house, and why not. Since we're already paying to heat that air to dry the clothes we might as well get our moneys worth. Then I head down stairs to get the wood furnace started. It usually burns itself out overnight. All the while Sally, our 1 year old Australian Shepard, is right in toe wondering when I'm going to start breakfast.
I'm also reminded that Christmas is coming and there are several gifts I am planning to make, so I better get moving. My sewing machine had to be sent out for repair this fall and was gone for 3 weeks. I don't need to panic yet but there is no time to waste.
This particular Monday, is a pretty big deal for the boys too. This is report card day. Even though we cyber-school and the boys & I are well aware of what their grades will be, the boys always like to get the official print out to show their Dad.
