A Busy Week

Abigail's folks should be here by the middle of next week. I'm becoming more and more apprehensive about them being here. I also wish I knew how long they were staying. I will probably very busy all week trying to get the place ready for them. Aside from my usual chores, something has torn down a section of fence on the north end of the pasture. I'll have to spend a lot of time splitting rails this week.*
Isaac-Albert has been drawing more and more pictures lately. It's all he's done since the new year. Yet, me and Abigail can't find any of his drawings. Neither of us can figure out what he does with them.
