Solitude
December 31, 2012 Today is the last day of 2012. The year ends no matter how you fared, what you lost or how you celebrated. It was a mixed bag for me. There were indeed many celebrations along with a few disappointments. Later, I will find some solitude…

Playing in the Woods
December 30, 2012 Last night we had a steady snow. It is about 18 inches deep on the flat. The snow fell slow, so keeping ahead of it while plowing was an easy job. It is starting to pile up though 😮 We hitched the horses today for…

The Driving Snow
December 29, 2012 The recent snows have made for a winter wonderland. At times the snow was the “driving” type. That is the kind that the wind drives into your eyes… not for driving vechicles…but we do anyway 😮 We have about eight inches on the ground.…

Waiting on Santa
December 25, 2012 King is looking for the bearded guy in the red suit. If I would have said the heavy-set guy in boots and a coat…he would know right where to look 😮 Santa’s belly shook like a bowl full of jelly and everyone was okay…

Organizational Maintenance
December 19, 2012 I , like almost everyone else, have been very busy. It is the time of year. Winter is here. Christmas is almost here. Piglets had to be weaned, wormed and sorted. Oh yea, there is that full-time job thing, that sometimes gets in the way 😮…

The Sceene of the Crime
December 10, 2012 The other day our neighbor’s dog killed one of our chickens. The old hen was not laying and probably should have been culled, but I would have preferred to have it done more humanely. I guess it is death, no matter the cause, but I am thinking…

Waking with a Start
December 9, 2012 Yesterday, when I caught the piglets napping, I rattled the door. I just wanted to see that all was well. They sprang from their beds, when I made the clatter, to see just what the heck was the matter 😮 Seventeen piggies scrambled out…
