Getting settled

We got back to the farm last night, after spending Easter weekend with Dad. It was a good weekend. The weather was really nice, and we were able to help Dad out with the never-ending yard work that exists back home. It was kind of sad for me to see, physically, that my dad is aging. Here was the man who would go go go go go.. but these days, it is rake a bit, sit a bit. I think his knee bothers him more than he lets on, (typical Norwegian!) and I wish he would get it fixed... but thats for him to decided I guess.

It is rainy and cold out here today. A big pheasant was taking refuge under the lilac bush, outside the window. I am finding place for most of our stuff. The rain, and a dream about Mom is making for a dreary day for me. Maybe I will settle in with a cup of joe and my new Patricia Cornwell novel...

Oh, left the digital camera at Dads.. it will be a few days before pictures. Sorry!!
