The 1st Day of the Rest of My New Life

Wow, what a beautiful day. Sweet Dr. Bill left me a message asking how The First Day of the Rest of My New Life was going...cute eh! This is my first day home after resigning from my job. Today the snow has fallen all day. It is the fluffiest puffiest snow I have ever seen. Kendall Farm is more beautiful than ever. I think my home keeps getting more and more beautiful to me. It is good however that I am spending the day on my own because I am feeling all kinds of emotions. I feel fearful about the country and my economic state for 2009 but also excited, exhilerated actually about my plan to open a small biz this summer. And of course absolutely petrified about making The Red Sleigh successful.

Though the iceboating is over and I was not able to get out there as much as I would have liked, my friend Peter had a chance to sail most good days ANd go night sailing. I have done that a few times myself and it is a really different sensation--bright night sky and only the wind and the sound of the blades on the ice. So although the snow is spectacular I am sorry I missed the final window of opportunity to sail before my trip.

Today I walked to Wildflower Cottage and fixed some plastic frames that we put over the windows. Squash followed right along over to the cottage. Squash decided to climb the ladder. What a riot. He did it three times. He sat on the upper rungs facing front with his back paws balancing him from behind. So I was there of course to fix the frames that protect the screens. What did Squash do? Of course he decided to jump from the ladder to the window to the ground and ripped the screen, the whole purpose of my trek. My favorite little brat :)

Hope you are enjoying the snow and your favorite little brat(s).
