I’m thinking the ‘warmth’ of our December weather has things confused. Irises are coming up, the goats are enjoying the outside, there is no snow to be seen, and the temperature is steadily running in the upper 40’s or low 50’s? Is this really December in New England? I’m just guessing, but I don’t think there will be a wood pellet shortage this year. š

It has been a very strange year for weather this year….we had such a long warm autumn that today was one of the first days that the world was gripped with frost….sprinkled with white glitter and frozen puddles….i had almost forgotten how pretty the cold is when the sun shines š

I just posted about how warm it’s been too Judy… sure beats the alternative five feet of snow that we could have!

Amen. I kept thinking if all that rain we got was snow we would be buried like Buffalo. Yesterday, I was outside with a wagon for a little over an hour picking up downed sticks which is a job I usually do in the spring. š

We too have had a mild spell ….the cold came early in the fall, the mild spell with the arrival of official winter. Well….it’s not over yet; we’ll see š

I especially liked this ‘the true meaning of Christmas which is not a bag from a store at the mall but rather an opportunity to connect with friends.’
This year I faced a very, ‘disappointed’ was her word, relative when I told her we were not doing gifts this year other than our immediate family. My kidults have had large expenses recently, my son having entered the home buyer world of debt and my daughter the rental world of debt. We were still having a family gathering which I thought was the best part of Christmas. She threw an adult tantrum of a kind and then told me she was returning to the store gifts she had purchased for her niece and nephew as they wouldn’t be buying her gifts. Whatever happened to giving without receiving?

No problem where it is posted. I did appreciate this because I remember telling an adult friend that once and that was the end of that ‘friendship.’ Especially as we mature, giving is really what it is all about.

Well since you’ve mentioned the pellet shortage recently I am extra glad you are having nice weather — at least nice for you and this time of year. It should be interesting to see what happens next! It is not exactly warm here but I am NOT complaining!

We’ve had a few very unseasonable days too, but today it is bitterly cold and there are snow flakes. I’ll take this over last year, though! Your goats are so cute!
