How is it possible it is already January?!  The holidays were busy this year, visiting my Mom up in the far reaches of Northern Minnesota, Jim visiting his parents in Milwaukee and Seth's family coming here to the farm for a short stay.  It was perfect!  All the stock is thriving this winter, no sudden unfortunate morning surprises -- even the goats are fat and sassy.  We did have an unplanned litter from our Gaelie Girl and Solo - the pups are in the house of course since they're so little and it is so cold, not to mention that Gael is a frivilous kind of gal - but they're quiet and she's keeping them clean so it's good all around.

We're making some plans for a week-long trip to Puerto Rico, hopefully we'll have good weather and a functional camera along!
