The weather continues to be bitterly cold here in Southwest Virginia, and school is closed once again, so I can't start Of Mice and Men again today with my tenth graders or help my freshmen with their PowerPoints on the 1930s.
Our two flocks of heritage Rhode Island Reds are refusing to come out of their respective henhouses, except for brief forays to the feeder. And Elaine has beaten me three straight games of Scrabble. We were half way through the game last night, and she was already ahead of me by some 150 points. It was then that I did the only thing I could - overturn the board and concede defeat. I used to overturn the board when she was ahead and claim that it was an accident. That gambit has never worked, however.
Warmer days are hopefully ahead.
At St Gall farm we don't play Scrabble but we do get tractors stuck in driveways!
ReplyDeleteEllen, you two should play Scrabble, it's the greatest game ever.
