There is a total of eight inches of snow on the ground at our place right now, and now that night has fallen here, the fog has crept in too. The environment is more than I could have expected for winters! The summer already proved to be warm and wonderful.
The “drawing” above is the house as it looked this afternoon at sunset.
What I want to do is come up with a better header for The Prospering Peasant as I am getting myself ready for some serious blogging on that site. I’d like more of a woodcut engraving appearance to it. This is clearly not the image for it, but a good practice image.
So, Christmas has come and gone, and I am busy spending this weeks allowance on a new power supply for my Netbook, which I am not happy about, and a few other things such as Windows 8 for the desktop in the hopes that it will address all of the RAM and give me more power in Photoshop and the like. I also finally ordered my first spare for the KitchenAid mixer; a flat beater. The next to come will be either a dough hook or a mixing bowl, though I think the bowl would be most useful!
After getting the computers all up to speed for the New Year, I want to work on a couple of things, including saving for a decent little Table Saw, and getting some fencing sorted out here. I shot a photo of a tree today and got some of that stupid orange fencing in the background that granny put up in the summer to keep the chickens in. Come summer, I want the chickens contained and the flower beds up to date. I’d like some of the fencing set for horses, cows, goats, and sheep too, so that we can start getting some of each of these animals. I would like to get started on remodeling the utility room into a prep pantry by summer! That’s one room that is going to need some serious work!
I expect a lot of changes come the New Year, and will post them as they come, as always!
