Yesterday it rained. Last night it rained. This morning it rained. This afternoon it rained. Tonight it's raining and tomorrow it's going to rain some more. If you really want to challenge your patience try milking 6 cows in a flooded field while soaking wet. Then move two of those miserable cows to another location and get squished between the stomach of said cow and the side of someone's car. Then come back and ask the other woofer, who incidentally is incapable of milking a cow, if the pigs are fed and have her tell you that she has not left the house all day. Then go to feed the pigs and find out that they have broken the electric fence and pushed their extremely heavy trough all the way down a steep hill.
But then you can end the day with a fire and some homemade spetzle. And of course some German beer because you can't drink the water because the rain has washed all of the mud down from the mountain and into the source.
Really though, life here could not be better.

We're all at Elissa's house celebrating Halloween. I just read your latest blog entries to Grandma and Grandpa and we're all enjoying your adventures. They just drove down from the homestead this afternoon after spending the last couple of days bringing wood in for the winter. There is a tableful of eyeballs, brains, and other gory delectables; the girls have their candy spread all over the floor; Jesse is having mad fun with whoopee cushions and Donald is getting warm in front of the fire. Be warm, my dear. Find some wool socks. See you soon.
