Yearend Vacation

That Time Of Year

Yearend Vacation, Mandatory time off, call it what you want...

Saturday 12/19 it's damned cold this morning -1 Degrees F opened the back door to let the dogs out, Zebulon went out on his own he's got thick fur, Hannah wouldn't go out until Rosie went out with her. Pellet stove and furnace are both running this morning desperately trying to keep up.  Once the sun came out this morning it did warm up to 26 degrees.

Rose made Banana bread today, yum!

Deer are still coming in nightly, they just plow right through the 20" of light stuff we got on Thursday.

First Day of Winter 12/21/2020

The 2020, winter solstice falls on December 21. The Farmer’s Almanac explains that the date is always December 21 or 22.

We had a kitty visit here on the farm, this cat, Bobcat or domestic though we're thinking domestic because this cat walked all over the farm literally,  there were paw prints everywhere, up and down the pathways, out in the deeryard, over to the barn and down to the workshop.  Bobcats do come through, but they stick to the margins of the property usually.

We're off to get grain today, deer barrels are nearly empty.  We'll pick up a deer block for the day or so each winter we just can't get to the yard.

Interesting Story if you have a few minutes read this about Honest Abe stopping a murder.

Rosie saw some big prints over by the shed I need to go take a look and get a few pics.

We went out to see if we could see the planet alignment, it was cloudy in that direction.  Maybe in another 800 years, lol.

Dec 24th It's here, dog bath day... Hannah will get a bath finally today.

 

 May the Christmas season fill your home with joy, your heart with love and your life with laughter. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and we look forward to seeing you in 2021.
