Chapter Twenty-One: First 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 42 starting actions]

[Obadiah’s Almanac: 1st day of Winter! 90 days until the Winter Festival! It’s… well, it’s really just cold, folks! You know the drill well enough by now, I’d say. Nothing else is going to grow until Spring, so on and so forth!]

Jason was slow to roll out of bed as the sun rose on the first day of Winter. He had lit a fire in the hearth below, so the house was plenty warm, but the frost creeping across the window certainly made it seem like it should be far colder. He shivered a bit as his feet hit the cold floor, and he dressed quickly, then added a nice, thick layer of socks just for good measure.

The smell of bacon sizzling rose up through the air, and he followed his nose out into the hallway and down the stairs. There, he found Tess just setting out breakfast, and smiled as he sat down in his usual place.

“Good morning.” He yawed. “Are the girls still asleep?”

“No, daddy!” Fern raced into the kitchen from the living room. “I’m not! Silly daddy!”

Jason laughed, then picked her up and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. As he set her down, she raced back to the living room, and Tess gave a nod.

“They’re snuggling up in front of the fire, where it’s warmer. I can’t say that I blame them, really.”

Jason nodded. “True that.” He stretched, then slowly tucked into breakfast. “Alright, girls! If you want food, now’s your chance!”

“I’ll wait a bit!” Fern called back.

“No, I said that now’s your chance.” Jason returned. There was an assortment of grumbling, and Rachel and Fern stomped back in and climbed up into their seats. Jason started to munch on a strip of bacon, when a sharp knock came at the back door, and Milligan slipped inside. With him came a blast of cold air, which sent the girls shrieking back to the fireplace.

“Girls!” Jason shouted after them, then chuckled as Milligan pulled off thick gloves and started rubbing his hands together. “Good morning, Milligan.”

“Morning, boss.” Milligan stomped over to the stove and held up his hands over the fire, staying off to the side so he didn’t bother Tess. “You sent me a letter last night asking to see me early this morning. All the chores are done, not that there were a lot of them, so I should be available for whatever you need.”

“Perfect.” Jason nodded at the table as Fern and Rachel slunk back inside. “Breakfast?”

“I’m not going to turn it down!”

They ate breakfast slowly and surely. When they finished, Tess ran the girls upstairs, and Jason followed, bringing Milligan along with him. They soon stepped into Jason’s office, which had gotten rather messy over the course of the previous… Well, it had realistically been getting messier and messier over the course of several years.
