Snow IS OVERRATED!

   I have spent the last two week cooped up in my home. Small towns are boring anyway, but to be trapped for days with the same three people is really tiring and not to mention debilitating. Luckily I did have the opportunity to have school on Monday. I really miss my students and having that time taken away will really hurt my curriculum guide.

    I did find things to occupy my laziness.
      The long days trapped inside my home resulted in cold freezing walks to the mail box. There is nothing as beautiful as a freshly fallen snow. I just love the way it attaches itself to the trees. As you can see it took several days before we attempted to drive the car down the driveway.
       It seems as if I wasn't the only one who needed out to the house. Dad finally gave in and invited me to ride out to Rainbow Falls. The ice is now completely in the road and will soon be impassible. These pictures were taken before the ice got too bad. One memory that really hit me was the fact that my grandpa would risk life and limb every winter to drive out to see the ice. It's funny how the small things in life remind us of our loved ones.

          My dog decided to have her puppies about four weeks ago. I was super excited, so these snow days has been a chance for me to bond with them. I really appreciate Black and Tans as a breed. They can be the most loyal friend and be the silliest dog. Her litter started out at ten, but we now only have seven. They all ready have homes, as soon as, they are ready. I can already see their personalities blossoming. Hopefully, they will be more like their mom!
         Snow is overrated because it only confines you. Once it melts our yard will be a total mess, and sledding is impossible due to the lack of youth in my area. Doing such activities is rather weird. I believe I'll spend my remaining days by the ward heather and sip sugar free coco. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
