Chapter Twenty-Two: Gravy Day

[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: 9th day of Winter! 82 days until the Winter Festival! Here comes the snow, folks! It’s coming down lightly now, but it’ll get a whole lot heavier throughout the day. Expect near-blizzard conditions by tonight!]

A smile flickered across Jason’s face as he sat up and rose, and he slowly walked up to the window. Sure enough, a heavy flurry of snow was drifting downward, covering the ground in what appeared to be a light dusting. It wouldn’t amount to much by itself, at least not for a long while, but if it did indeed pick up, the weather certainly seemed to have the potential to generate quite a lot of snowfall. In any event, the air inside the house was pleasant and warm, for the fire down below was crackling merrily. Jason stretched and wiped a bit of condensation off the window, then turned back to Tess.

Tess eagerly accepted help in standing up from the bed, though she didn’t want help getting dressed. When she had finally managed to pull on the blue maternity dress she planned to wear for that day, she let out a long breath and turned toward him.

“Good morning, Jason.” She sighed deeply, then forced a smile. “Sorry about that. On the bright side…” A grin spread over her face. “Only a couple more weeks until this new little one comes!”

Jason grinned back at her. “I know! I’m so excited.”

“Me, too.” Tess panted as she turned toward the door. “I wish you had some sort of idea of how unpleasant this is. I’ll catch you down at breakfast?”

“See you there!”

Jason strode down the stairs, added another log to the fire as he walked through the living room, and was soon out in the cold. Even though it was technically even colder than on the first day of winter, it didn’t feel nearly as bad. The snow just had a lovely, calming sort of effect, and it mitigated the bite of the cold.

It didn’t take Jason long to do the chores, and the animals all reacted eagerly to his presence. He played with some of the goats for a few minutes, then made his way back into the house. Tess had just finished getting food on the table, and Fern raced around Jason’s feet as he tried to slip into the kitchen.

“Good… Morning.” He chuckled as he tugged his foot away from Fern, who had wrapped her arms firmly around his leg. “Well, the animals are all taken care of, and the barn is nice and toasty for them, and the fields are getting a nice coating of snow, so I’d say that all is well in the world.”

“I’m glad to hear it.” Tess set out a large platter of biscuits, along with a matching plate of gravy. “Do you have any idea what you’ll be doing today?”

“I’m going to the…” He paused and leaned over to Fern.
