Taking a Break

I must admit that I'm taking guilty pleasure in last night's heavy rains. I had planned on cutting firewood and falling a rather difficult tree today. With the muddy conditions and continued threat of rain, I decided that I'd be safer doing other work. I enjoy cutting wood, but once in awhile it's nice to take a break from the physical demands of the job. This morning I did my banking, got my financial record-keeping system organized for the coming year, and worked on my internship program. I'll still get some "outside time" - we'll move both groups of sheep onto fresh feed this afternoon. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the excuse to stay inside by the woodstove!
