Christmas Sun


After weeks of gray, cloudy, foggy, and rainy days...


we had a Christmas treat yesterday.
The sun came out.


Not for the whole day...


but just long enough to let us know that the sun is still there...behind the clouds,
and long enough to give us a dose of the green we've been lacking!

As planned, we had a quiet couple of days here on the farm.
We kept "the newlyweds" dog...Sammy (the other Sammy) for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The return of sunshine was so exciting,
we took all the dogs for a long hike.


Sammy ran and ran through the woods...


and met the neighbors...(Becky's old horse, Duffy, and pony, Shirley)


a different experience for this suburban dog.

It was too warm for me to try out my Christmas present, but I tried it on to show you...


New quilted coveralls for winter warmth!
They will keep me toasty warm in the cold of January and February!

Hubbs and I saw "Into The Woods" at the theatre last evening.
A lover of musicals, I was enchanted and found it to be great fun!
Oh, how I love the music.
Hubbs slept through half of the movie...maybe he was just really tired.
So there you have it....two different critiques!

Today I will be going into the woods myself...
to get the camera cards from our trail cameras.
Check back tomorrow for another installment of our Walk on the Wild Side.




- Field Trips...on And Off The Farm

- Sundays Are Fun Days!!
Yesterday morning we awoke to a light dusting of snow....we had had some flurries Saturday evening. It looks as if this will have to suffice for our White Christmas...as there is no more snow on the horizon. Since our Christmas preparations are complete,we...
