Belated Snow Pics
By the time I got around to posting these, the snow is mostly gone. I'm not sure if I like that aspect of southern Virginian snows or not. Considering the lack of snow plows and general ability to cope with snow, it's probably better that it melts immediately.

We Have a Winner!
This month's Practical Homescooling magazine arrived, and to our satisfaction, Laura's envelope art (as seen in this post: http://providence-farm.blogspot.com/2010/09/envelope-contest.html) had been chosen for printing.
After I had seen it in the gallery, I was pleased to see that she was the example in the table of contents as well.
In the gallery, Laura's masterpiece is the third from bottom, left hand column. Also, if you read the text on the page, Laura's envelope is mentioned as an example.

Hi-Tech Nativity
Since the baby Jesus from the Nativity scene seems to be missing, Katie spent this evening recreating the babe and his manger. (Note the blue swaddling clothes.)
Laura saw the work and asked, "Is Jesus duct tape?"
"No. He's a battery!" exclaimed Katie.
Which just goes to show, you never know what you'll hear next on Providence Farm.

All I Wanted for Christmas
I haven't been sleeping well since the 7th of December. That's when I foolishly let Scott out at Gretchen's house and he ran off. Without a collar.
Since then, I've been without my trusty farm hand through three daughter's illnesses, an arctic chill, and a snowstorm.
Today an excellent friend called to tell me where Scott was hanging out. It was wonderful to see my long lost puppy!
I feel like everything's right in the world now that my pooch is back.

Tilly's Winter Look
A Preview of Coming Attractions
Christmas on Ice
I had to wait to steal a photo before I could post one about last weekend's big show. I forgot the camera.
The girls enjoyed a day of performing in an ice show on Saturday. Grandparents and Old Spinsters came and watched. A good time was had by all.
Only one daughter appears in this photo. It's Katie, applying lipstick.
