8 Tevet
The rain keeps coming. Shmuel is worried that the far field will flood. We have flocks there all winter. The hired hands are complaining that their accommodation is damp. Last year we had no worries about employees, we could not afford them. Affluence brings its own challenges and responsibilities. The menfolk have been out in the elements all day trying to fix the accommodation and see to the stream. I just found out the boys have been diverting the stream. Shmuli has arrived home chilled to the bone and soaking wet. Shabbat will be starting soon but I can't risk him having a cold bath, I've set him up in the kitchen before the fire. Rivkah is teasing him from behind the curtain, she said this strange creature can't be Shmuli, it's black, it's too smelly even for a grubby brother too!
Tonight we will have chicken and lentil soup, piping hot. I've made dumplings too. I don't know what it is about dumplings but they make it all seem so much more warming.
