and the first….
October 9, 2009

Snow! A bit early this year and the surprise was a lovely one this morning.

Sunflowers hang their heads with heavy snow bonnets.


Chickens are cuddling, boots dug out of the closet.

An extra cup of coffee and extra long time in pjs. And then tea.

Sudden need to finish up all that canning and freezing and sudden overwhelming desire to meet the 17-inch kid in my stretching midsection.


A good day to have off from work with my family.

You are handling the first snow much better than I would be at this point of the year. 🙂

By the way, that is one beautiful mug you have for your tea. Any chance you can share the source?

The ceramic artist is Hak Kyun Kim and he is amazing amazing. He received his MFA at UM here in Missoula last year and I think he has since moved…his e mail might be whitecera at hotmail dot com. That is on his UM grad page anyway.

I love the pic of your daughter pushing in your bellybutton! A source of fascination for a toddler. Your mug looks like the ones Dave Lockie makes here in Bozeman. I have a couple of his and love them. His wife and I used to compete together in the foods division at the Montana Winter Fair. That lady makes pies as well as her husband makes pottery.

I hate that Bacca and I are having computer issues…his is in for a face lift & we had a wake for mine 2 days ago. Funeral today; along with a twenty one gun salute…straight to the hard drive! Why am I telling you this? Because I am at the mercy of being able to jump on this little Dell laptop ONLY when your dad is not on it….like now. Thus I am only seeing your post today…..16 HOURS LATE!!!

Anywho, love the tum and Margot your touch of wonder!

We woke to a skiff snow today…my southern granddogger didn’t know quite what to think & is already snuggled in his warm bed….I guess I better make him a doggie coat.

Well my two favorite gals…stay warm. read books, make cookies and lots of snuggle time!

xoxo Mom/Gram

I am stalking your blog. I look at it several times a day (when I should be working) and I read the same entries over and over. Now I have my mom and sister hooked. When is your due date?
