(Full disclosure- I totally typed 2015 the first time. <Sigh>)
Finding the blessings (even the speckled ones) and in turn, finding joy in the every day.
... ... ... ... ...
Frigid temperatures this weekend (we're talking -20 or so), meant our little farm stayed pretty quiet last Saturday and Sunday. The peace and rest was needed- we hadn't been home for a whole weekend since before Christmas!

... ... ... ... ...
It also meant that the winter-wonderland look is ongoing...
... ... ... ... ...
... and that Bear spent more time in the entryway than he did in his den. He didn't seem to mind one bit.
Although, for some reason, sometimes he doesn't much feel like sleeping on the pillows I put down for him... silly dog.
... ... ... ... ...
We got to visit with some good friends over pasta... and then a joint trip to Menards. Because when do we not go to Menards?
... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ...
Thankfully, the weather did warm up a bit (28! Shorts weather!), and we got to spend a little more time outside.

One of my very favorite Aunts celebrated her birthday this week! She is such a blessing in my life, and I thank God for her!

Sitting at a staff meeting, looking at the faces of those around me, eager to do their best in the role's God has given them.

Walking this guy in the morning has gotten me up and out in time to get a little morning exercise, and see some really gorgeous sunrises.

THIS WEEK
around The Speckled Goat:
I interviewed Amber this week- a young dairy farmer hopeful with big dreams and an even bigger smile. The interview was part of the Featured Farmers series- I interview a different farmer every other week!
Just a little peek into Bear's new digs on the farm! Lately, he's only been hanging out in there during the day while we're at work... but he needs a cozy spot of his own, too.
What blessings have you seen in your life this week?
