Sunday is worship day for us AND I generally do not do the chores after feeding the critters on Saturday morning. So it was a rest day for me.
EXCEPT - we needed to go to the feed store and pick up a bale of straw and one of alfalfa. The newly covered and cleaned pig house needed some straw for extra warmth. Not that the boys would care so much, but at least they wouldn't be sleeping outside in the rain/snow. It did snow yesterday and it was a little more cold than it has been in a few days.
The remainder of the day was spent indoors as it had started snowing while we were at church and pretty much continued throughout the rest of the day. Fortunately snow around here doesn't last long and the snow on the driveway has melted and the snow on the ground will turn more icy, but at least there isn't much.
The other thing that we worked on is our brand fresh new fake-o Christmas tree. Straight out of the box and fluffing the branches. That took the both of us, each of working on it an hour at a time I would guesstimate.
It looks pretty good I think. Once it's in place and decorated It will look much better! While this is a environmentally friendly choice I think I'll miss a live tree for the one month out of the year that we have the decorated for Christmas. I won't miss tromping around a tree farm looking for the "perfect" tree or continuing to look after we found the "perfect" tree. No water involved here or trying to get the tree straight in the tree stand.
So my Monday project will be getting the living room rearranged for this tree!
