a warm fire, carols, cards and decking the halls


The holiday spirit is in full swing here at the farm. A wreath adorns the front door, welcoming all who visit; a fire roars, warming the room and adding to the ambiance of the evening; carols turned up loud on XM radio keep everyone in a festive mood and the tree is coming along. Each ornament pulled from its protective box reminds us of places we’ve been and vacations we’ve enjoyed. There’s moose and bears from trips to the mountains, additions to our sheep collection bought during a trip to VT and countless treasures given to us by friends and family. We reminise as we hang each one on the tree, laughing and telling stories of our adventures. Greeting cards thanking friends for their support of what we do on the homestead are ready for the post.

The storm still rages outside, but we are warm, happy, singing, and thankful for this simple life we have chosen to pursue.

Life is good.
