In 1996 at this time exactly Dearest and I shared our first kiss. It was under a Christmas tree and after watching a Hitchcock movie. It was the most wonderful Christmas gift I had ever received and each year since has been an incredible blessing. Hard to believe it was 13 years ago. Interesting to note, I had the exact same hair color and cut that I have today. Huh.
Merry Christmas! May your days be merry and bright.

1:36 AM Christmas Eve....
Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).

Sally and Jack and Lucy and some of the other critters that live here....
This is Jack and Hobbit. They get along really well. Hobbit does just fine with any critter actually, he's such an easy going dog.
This is Lucy, a half Blue Heeler, half Aussie farm dog. She's got sooooo much energy. If Lil'Bug were a dog, she'd be Lucy. They are a good match.
A giant blue crawfish. I love this picture. Lil'Bug is so awesome with creatures, fish, and various other slimy wonderful things. Life is messy and she loves every bit of it!
We have millions of frogs and turtles. Crawfish are a bit more rare. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg for critters around here. Lily has to touch every single one of them. The picture above of the turtle is one she found in the dogs jaws and got the bleeding to stop with flour, watched it to stop bleeding and released it into the pond. All in a farm girl's afternoon.
Our flock of chickens are great. They are pretty and gentle. Chickens take care of our ticks and give us beautiful yummy eggs.
This is Sally, I think. Jack is much shier. These two were the first of our four barn cats. They would like to be house cats and we would like to let them, but Star Kitty has some anger issues she needs to work out first.

And Because Chaos
ensued.....you all get to see me work on the blog design and fumble through different things. No break for me, but I guess post feedback if you like something. It will probably change daily until Jan 1st, and by then I should have the design issues worked out. Whew it's hard!
