MERRY CHRISTMAS

and best of wishes for a 

HAPPY, HEALTHY and SAFE

NEW YEAR

---------------------------------------------

Here at the Farm we have pretty well organized the buildings and animals ready for the colder months ahead. Snow shovels sit at all doorways in anticipation or maybe to scare the white stuff away!

Friends up Barrie and Orillia way have already had a good amount of snow to clear, here we have been a bit more fortunate - some would say. If your a skier, (downhill or cross country), snowmobiler or like to snowshoe (like me) then you kind of like a little bit of snow!

A few folks had some real wind damage at the end of November as a very strong wind storm raged through the evening. We awoke to see one of our lovely old Maples had been blown over. Looks like maybe the roots were a wee bit on the decaying side. We have lived here for about 37 years and these lovely old trees were planted about 15 to 20 years before we arrived. We always thought they were maybe planted a little to close to each other but they have always provided a welcoming amount of shade.

Our son will use it for firewood to warm his house so the tree keeps on giving.

Thank you!

A very talented young lady has made us a beautiful quilt block to put above the barn door. It is finished and should be mounted by the New Year. I will add photos in the next blog.

The metal work at left was a Christmas Tree Ornament our youngest grandson made at school in metal shop manufacturing class.

Well Done T

It's time to go and make a few shortbreads for the freezer to enjoy through the holidays so I will sign off below.

In these difficult days of 2020 we look for peace, love and kindness within ourselves and in each other. Please enjoy the holiday season, stay safe, healthy, and in good spirits if you can. To those that work the frontline a BIG and continued THANK YOU! To all essential workers a BIG and continued THANK YOU as well. To all the helpers in the world and to all those that have suffered this year, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

AND HERE'S TO A

HAPPY, HEALTHY

AND BETTER

NEW YEAR!

Until next time,

Jeanne & Kim
