It was nice out today, it felt like spring.
February is a tough time of year in Vermont, it’s been dark and cold and dreary and hard to sit outside for months. You’d think that’d get easier after nearly three decades, but it really hasn’t. 

I got to watch Roby and Abby sit outside for a while, it makes me excited to think about sitting outside with them for a much longer while a few months from now. That’ll be nice. 

Roby’s not old enough to do much of anything apart from sit, and even then she’s got to be supported by a pillow or a helping hand. By the time summer’s in full swing, I expect she’ll be able to sit up on her own, and that means she’ll get to watch us garden, or work in the shop.

She is going to be such a mess it’s incredible. Between the dogs, the chickens, the garden, and crawling across the yard...the days of non-daily bathtime are not long for us.
