Yesterday night Rosie saw how clear the sky was and how bright the stars were and let out a hoot of astonishment. I asked her if she was trying to communicate with an owl and we all had a good laugh at her expense until she was answered by a real great horned owl in the trees behind us.
Another nice thing:
Every time it snows I check the snow to see if it is good snowman snow but I am usually disappointed. Not yesterday! Yesterday's snow was the PERFECT snowman snow. As soon as we arrived here I checked the snow and then got right to snowman making with Sister. So great. We could even do that classic snowman making move where you roll the ball of snow and it packs onto itself. I can't even remember the last time I was in snow that did that.
One bad thing: my boots leak.
I'm reading All Things Bright and Beautiful. I've been thinking about how I get to read it when I come here for months and now I'm here and now I am reading it. I liked it a lot when I was little but now I like it even more because when I got to the part where all the sheep are down with calcium deficiency I thought about milk fever and when I got to the part where the cows have mastitis I thought about mastitis and when I got to the part about how nice it is to snuggle up with your wife when you're cold I thought about snuggling. I would say that everybody should go out and read this book right now, but I think I'm a lot more interested in the life of a farm vet than the rest of you. I should go and read more of this book right now. That is what should happen. I think I will do that. Right now.
