Chapter Twenty-One: The 1st Day of Winter

[The alarm went off, it was 6 AM. Jason and Tess were ready to get to work around the farm. They had 41 starting actions.]

[Obadiah’s Almanac: 1st day of Winter! 90 days until the Winter Festival! As per usual, we got a nice, heavy snowfall to start off the winter, so when you wake up this morning, you’ll have a good foot of powder on the ground to wade through, or to let your kids play in. As far as the future goes, it looks like temperatures are going to keep dropping for the next few weeks, with a potential blizzard on the horizon at the end of that. I’ll keep you updated as I learn things!]

Jason’s eyes slowly flickered open, and he found himself surrounded by warmth. They had put a thick fleece quilt over the bed the night before, to help combat the frigid winter air. Tess’s arm was wrapped around his chest, and she was snuggled up against his back. Chance lay upon his feet, and the air was warm from the crackling hearth below. All things considered, it was the perfect way to start out the winter.

“Whaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Fern’s broken cry echoed down the hall from her new bedroom, and Jason groaned softly.

“You want to go get her?” He whispered.

“I did it all night,” Tess whispered back. “While, I should add, you stayed nice and toasty warm.”

“I was asleep, so I didn’t get to experience said warmth,” Jason returned, with a grin on his face.

A moment later, the only part of Tess’s body that he could feel was her feet, which shoved him out of bed. He fell onto the floor with a laugh, then rose and slowly walked up to the window, where he gazed out across the winterized farm.

It was true: For some reason, it nearly always snowed on the first day of winter. It didn’t always happen, to be sure, but it was kind of nice when it did. The stable was all shut up to keep the horses warm, and the field was now barren and white, until the summer came around. Winter was a time for bookwork, housekeeping, and other such things… And that meant that Jason could spend a great deal more time with his family.

At that exact moment, though, the family who needed him was Fern. Jason changed quickly into a warm, winter tunic and dashed down the stairs. He quickly mixed up a bottle of milk, then came back up the stairs to Fern’s room. It was located just down the hall from their own room, with only Jason’s office standing in between. As he pushed the door open, baby Fern waved her arms and legs about and cried fiercely, and he ran to her bedside.

The crib was located near the door, since that was the warmest part of the room. Across the room, toward the window, was a wide carpet and a number of different toys that Tess had been collecting. There was also a rocking chair, a changing table, and an assortment of other such baby-esque things.
