It's pretty wild here, and we have to keep the stoves going, the water buckets filled (or emptied depending upon where we want the water and the chickens safe). My regrets for missing meeting you all; except for Kendall whom I met years ago. Ummm... I don't regret that at all!

Jacqui, I'll start sorting out that interesting yarn for you. Mary, I'll tuck in here with my husband, some oatmeal cookies and a pot of tea. The chickens tried to persuade me to bring them into the house rather than their shed, but I politely, firmly, declined. I'd have brought you some nice little eggs had I been able to make it through the gales today. (Happy Birthday!)

I hope your music is merry and yourselves are warm and dry.
