A sort of acceptance has set in, and a determination to make it until spring arrives; like August in hot climes evokes determination to make it to October.

The goats are handling their new environment well. It's a little too slippery for Austin some days as the snow melts into slicks during the day and freezes at night. The truck has sat for quite awhile now as we utilize John's car and mine for errands; limiting them often to essentials. No running over to convenience markets at the drop of a hat. Maybe that is why gas station/convenience markets are so thinly scattered over the region. They'd be inconvenience stores.
Only one late-start school day this week. Aidan had a birthday mid-week that had a light (lite?) family remembrance after supper with a lemon meringue pie. Today is the big day when he meets his nine invitees at the wall-to-wall trampoline warehouse where he celebrated a friend's birthday in the fall. He liked it better than the jumping castle (bouncy house--that's Pennsylvanian) place of another friend's day. The decibel range will be above 120. I'll take my book and earplugs.
A shoutout to the Casas Adobes CC Choir: I'm entranced with Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing with Others by Stacy Horn. What a great story about music and singing in a choir. It's now at the top of my all-time best-loved books. And, I am getting used to new songs and singing in a choir near me here. They are very good, are wonderful people, and I'm challenged; yet CACC choir is a very, very hard act to follow.
Music continues...
