ad migraine the last two days. When I get headaches, they tend to be a doozy anymore. Yesterday I decided to cater to myself and took a long hot bath in case it is a headcold starting which is why the headache is happening. I felt somewhat better for a few hours, but still couldn't look at the computer screen for most of that time. I kept the curtains shut and tried to sleep to get away from the pain. Today my theory was try different foods to see if anything would help. 

It has turned cold again. -18C/-0.4 F. Snowed about 4" yesterday.

Since I have moved here I have gotten very involved with alot of wonderful agriculture groups and I attended a food policy meeting this afternoon, even though my head still hurt (it is mostly my eyes now, which feel bruised). I talked about the upcoming event which 'my' group of 4 are getting going and they were as excited to have me be a part of their group as I was to be a part of it. The food policy program is to promote local foods and also to feed those in need. They have some very good ideas, including a community root cellar.

I also met a local women whom she and her husband bought a HUGE ranch 2 years ago and I have ordered some lamb meat from her. She is also interested in growing heirloom vegetables and raising heritage animals, so we have alot to talk about later.

A lady called me this morning and booked me for judging a 4-H event late summer for the fall fairs. I also volunteered to put on a judging clinic previous to that. I really enjoy judging the showmanship. Part of the reason I volunteered to put on a clinic is that too many kids do not know how to handle their animals properly and I would hate to see someone break their rabbit's back due to improper handling.

I cannot type anymore, that is about the extent of my computering for the day, but here is a game for the kids.
