Here&#8217;s a picture of the dance team at the basketball game tonight doing a new move called the worm!  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image83\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whiddenfarm.com\/yello\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/worm.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"worm.JPG\" \/><\/li>\n<li>*#1 son and I made a trip out to Rapid City this past week-end.  Among other things, we found time to venture on to Terry Peak Sunday afternoon where the kids went skiing while I graded papers in the lodge.   It was warm so the snow was kind of melting and slippery, but they had a lot of fun.  We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of ski runs and and size of the hill.<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image82\" title=\"skiing2.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whiddenfarm.com\/yello\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/skiing2.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"skiing2.JPG\" align=\"right\" \/><\/li>\n<li>*We&#8217;re still continuing to enjoy the high school basketball season as our first subdistrict game was tonight.  The Beavers won easily by a 30+ point margin and will advance to the subdistrict championship round on Thursday with a 20-1 record.  It&#8217;s been a fun season to watch a very talented group of players.<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image81\" title=\"Black eye.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whiddenfarm.com\/yello\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/Black%20eye.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"Black eye.JPG\" align=\"left\" \/><\/li>\n<li>*The hubby is sporting a shiner which has led to lots of jokes and accusations that I had something to do with it!  In reality, it had to do with feeding his cattle on a cold, wintry day last week when a chunk of frozen silage fell on his head and caused him to slam into the loader.  A bump the size of an egg immediately swelled up on the side of his forehead.  Since then the bruise has just sort of moved down a bit each day morphing into a tremendously black eye and, now, a black and blue cheek.  He claims that it never really hurt although he looks like a tough guy who got the worst end of a fight!  I guess the frozen hunk of silage won.  Actually, he feels fortunate that he wasn&#8217;t knocked out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know it&#8217;s been few and far between for blog postings lately&#8230;I guess it&#8217;s been busy!
