More than the predicted three inches too. Tomorrow I catch a plane to California to get ready to catch a plane to Australia. Of course it snows. Just to give me The Fear. And it is forecast to snow a little tomorrow too so I seriously have The Fear. 
My bags are ready. (I fly out to California tomorrow then on to New Zealand then Melbourne the next day). I am a seasoned traveller – I can pack with my eyes closed (though I always get it wrong) actually it is the cooking that gets my packing brain really sharp- I have to take my favourite knives and my apron (not always the same apron it depends on The Event) and my special whisk and my copper bowl (this time) ! I packed my special cake tin but my daughter said she had one ( I guess they have cake tins in Australia now!) So I took it out.
That is how mental my packing is!
As you know – with my family it is all about the food.
John and Jake are training to take over the farm, today. Actually John has been segueing himself in over the last few days. So he is feeling confident. I just have to remind him to check the right end of the cow! Health is not determined by the cow making cows eyes!
Oh and Poppy (Hereford sow) would have come into heat yesterday if she was going to, she and Manu were a little feisty with each other yesterday but I think that was because I had to close their door due to the snow flying in. But she is not showing outward signs of heat so fingers crossed.
Good morning. I think that officially, today, I will have one of those days when I am almost there and not quite here and want to be ON THE ROAD! I love to travel. LOVE IT!
And that is OK. There is nothing in the rule book that says you cannot YEARN to leave every now and then. I love to go out there into the world all by myself. Sheila will help the boys hold the fort and Tima is under orders not to wander. It is only for a few weeks. And I need to take my hands off and give the others a turn.
We will be a travel blog for a few weeks – I am taking you all with me – all 5008 of you!
And when I get back our first woofer will be right behind me! If all goes well. And the season will commence!
Have a lovely day
Love celi

Happy travels 🙂 I’m packing too… if only it were just knives, whisk, apron and copper bowls. I’m packing a caravan -which I’ve never done before. It feels like moving all over again. I too am keen to get to the point of being on the road.
Have a good one. As I dislike travelling intensely, I am delighted when anyone gives me the chance to travel vicariously…..I am already waiting to be on the beach:)
If you happen to look here this morning, C, I notice Chicago is just under the freezing point, cloudy, but only a 15% chance of precipitation… so appears it’s a ‘go’ for today! yipppeeeeeee…. have a wonderful holiday and we all look forward to your reports! Best wishes! ~ Mame 🙂
Have a safe and wonderful trip. Enjoy the time with your family and the weather – hope it’s warmer there.
And you are off. Safe travels and many adventures!
(Cows will eye everything until you return.)
I love the cold weather photography. Living in S. Florida its nice to see something different.
