The weather outside is //

As I look outside my window // We recently had quite a scare with Fred the pig. All of a sudden, he became really lethargic and refused to eat. Fred loves food so we immediately thought something must be really wrong. A quick search online showed me all the worst case scenarios and I scared myself silly thinking he must certainly be close to death. You should have seen me babying this 300+ pound animal, coaxing him with treats and water. Praise the Lord, he eventually perked up and is hopefully getting back to normal.

As I look around the house // Our first week of school went really well! I am always nervous because I never how it’s going to go – some first days go wonderfully, others have me questioning all of my life’s decisions. So thankful that this year was a smooth transition with a group of (mostly) enthusiastic students. Looking forward to Week Two.

On this week’s to-do list //
– finally get the new armchair repaired! – finish up the permanent pig shelter for Ethel – start hauling over wood chips – order straw – clean up the flower beds at the front of the house – inventory my fall/winter wardrobe and jot down any needs

– order birthday gifts
