Well, besides everything else that’s typical of Christmas preparations, I thought I’d try making my own mittens! Now, technically, I was going to make mittens for the grandsons to use… felting old sweaters and cutting them into mittens and sewing them together.

Perfect Stocking
Busy day… Crafting and baking cookies with two of the grandsons, and their moms! Now to keep Vernon from eating them all before Christmas… Before it gets too far away from me… and this is a spoiler for my father-in-law… I decided to go ahead and share what I made for him! Everyone else had…
First Hay
The guys decided it was time to start feeding the calves and heifers extra hay. They’ve been on our fields munching away, but it’s time. We didn’t have to move them from their favorite restaurants so much as just get them from the self serve buffet to the best table in the house! They’ll get…

‘Tis the Season
I’m still adding to this… but here’s the basic shelf all gussied up for Christmas! The bottom shelf and floor will hold presents… but for now there’s toys and a Santa hat for the boys to play with! No garland. No lights. Maybe in a few more years! The next shelf holds “kid friendly” stuff…
Front Door
Remember this? This is what you used to see as you entered my house. Of course, technically it’s the BACK door, but no one in the country, except salesmen that don’t know better, ever comes to your FRONT door! We’re all tromping in mud and you-know-what on our boots, so if it’s possible, we go…
