A Plain Home

It's a bad day today.....

This morning I went to the old barn to feed and milk the cow then to the pasture to feed the goats and chickens, gather eggs and milk. It's a cold and damp morning. I was planning on hitching up the buggy to go into town for some fresh produce and possbily a stop at the dry goods store for some things but I think the day will be to wet and possibly snowy. I think I will stay home instead and try again tomorrow.

I've been a bit tired these past few days. I think this winter weather needs to pass so that I can get out more and have more energy. Sitting inside and sewing can become tiresome when there is nothing else to do. I am feeling a bit lonely. With Adam off at the Dairy Barn during the days and just me at home, I am not used to this alone time and it makes me a little sad and lonely. I think of home often and wonder what is happening in the house there with my Mamm and siblings running about. I know in the Spring things will be a bit better, I will have much more to do outside and to keep busy with. Maybe I will meet some more of the ladies in this community to be friends with.

My Adam will be coming home for lunch today to give me some company. He takes such good care of me. He is aware of my blue moods and said he would be here today to give me some company. It will do me well on this dreary day for sure.

Lydia,

I am sure the weather has lots to do with your mood. I know when I see the sun shine I always feel better:) Maybe you could start a new project? I always pick up my cross-stitch when I start feeling down the time just flies when I keep my hands working on something.

I will keep you in my prayers today,

Many Blessings,

Ma

It's always hard being away from family for the first time! So much quiet-
And dreary weather never helps....
I hope tomorrow will be sunny so that you can get out and about!

Hi Lydia,

It's raining here today as well. I'll be praying that you feel better when the sun comes out. As a mommy of lots of children (the oldest of which was born just about two weeks after you were!), I can tell you that tiredness can also be an early sign of pregnancy. Maybe that's a wonderful blessing that you'll be able to look forward too soon!! Children do wonders for brightening up a dreary day!!!
Take Care,
Cherylann

I know what you're feeling. When Charlie and I were first married, we were living in California on a military base where I knew no one. It was very hard to be so far away from friends and family. I pray that you meet some nice women who make you feel more at home. I hope you don't mind, but I've added you to my friend's list. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
