Got It
As usual, we incorporated a bit of work into our “day off” of Christmas tree hunting. We have what we call a “lay-down fence” in a few places around our pasture. These are the spots that will grow huge snowdrifts over the winter. The snow will cover the entire fence and the weight of the…
Tree Adventure
Vernon declared another day off, and we and Daniel, Tess, and kids headed to the mountain in search of a Christmas tree. It’s early for us to be putting up our tree, but, gee, I do believe Tess will be busy here pretty soon! It is fairly amazing that we can still make it clear…

Their closest relatives are actually giraffes and…
Break
We had a short break from the regular routine because we celebrated the twins’ sixth birthday today! As usual, I can’t share photos of them, but I will tell you a cute story. Wyatt was the first to wake up this morning, and he came trotting into the living room where I was drinking my…
