40% is nothing.  It’s way less than 50% and as the previous commenter said " ‘isolated’ and ’scattered’ can be pretty hit and miss."

Mostly miss.

Is anyone else obsessing over the weather report in Mansfield, MO?

I know it’s just gonna blow over.  It is.

So all of the big jackets went away.  Sorta.  How exactly do you store heavy jackets x 14?  Then there’s the snow suits x 12.  And gloves x 358.  We just tripped over them for 2 days until new Rubbermaid containers arrived. Then they all disappeared until next year.

I thought we were working on a big, lovely garden.  Jeff and the boys had been working so hard and things were finally coming together.  Then it snowed.

 
And it was beautiful.  Even if it was fluffy snow that is really not good for sledding.

 
There’s my littlest daughter son all dressed in pink.  And he is [...]

Jenna gave him a good shove.

 
And then Jeff tried to steer/stop/slow down.

Happy Happy New Year to you.  The weather is coooold today and Jeff is out there with John and Jacob putting fence posts in.  I’d take some pictures but it is very cold.  Did I say that already?  I think I’ll just stick with keeping the home fires burning. Literally.

These pictures are from the [...]

has begun.  Only this time it was more like this strange frost stuff that stuck out all over like cacti needles.

 
It was pretty cool (cool, get it?) but not nearly as photographically interesting as the ice storms last year.  But I know they will come.

 
When it is icey outside I do my farm chores in [...]

Last Saturday we received our first snow.  Here it is coming down in all of it’s snowy goodness.

 
This is a better view of the snow.  We maybe got an inch.  But it didn’t stay around long.  Who is that in the background?

 
This is Sandro.  He was acquired after a rather scary visit by a [...]

Sometimes when you are busy running about and doing farmy type things like jumping in leaves and taking pictures you lose sense of what is good and right in the world of fashion.  Sometimes you forget the rules and kind of forge your own path without regard to what other people may think about you.
But [...]
